Company Announcement
Nelson & Isa Lacteos LLC. of Bayshore, NY, is recalling 1lb packages of Requeson Cheese because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy persons may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The recalled Requeson Cheese was sold in 1 lb plastic clam shells in retail locations in New York from May 15 to May 28, 2026. Product was likely repacked at the retail store locations, and labeling or coding may vary based on location of purchase.
The contamination was discovered after sampling by New York State Department of Agriculture and Market Food Inspectors and subsequent analysis by Food Laboratory personnel revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in an 18lb plastic container of “Clover Hill Dairy Requeson Cheese” with a sell-by date of 6/14/26 and batch #2AA051526 that was repacked into the recalled 1lb packages of Requeson Cheese.
To date, no illnesses or complaints have been reported or received regarding this matter
Consumers who have purchased 1lb packages of Requeson Cheese are urged not to consume the product and to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 631-334-1055 between the hours of 9:am to 5:00 pm Eastern time.
