Whole Foods Market on Saturday announced to recall cheese sold in all stores nationwide due to possible bacterial contamination.

The company says the Papillion Organic Roquefort cheese (a type of blue cheese) has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people. It can also affect people with weakened immune systems.

The recall was issued by the company after routine sampling conducted by the FDA found Listeria Monocytogenes in a whole, uncut wheel of the cheese.

The recalled cheese was cut and packaged in clear plastic wrap and sold with Whole Foods Market scale labels.

Product included in the recall can be identified by the scale label that begins with PLU 029536. All sell by dates are affected.

It is learned that no illnesses or infections have been reported to date in connection with this cheese, but the product has been removed from store shelves.

Symptoms of listeria-related illness include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Consumers who have purchased this product from Whole Foods Market stores can get full refund by bringing their receipt to the store. Those with questions are urged to contact their local store or call 512-477-5566 ext. 20060 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST.
