Keswick Creamery has recalled a bunch of its cheeses over concerns of potential listeria contamination.
The cheeses were sold in Dupont Circle Freshfarm Market in Washington, DC; Takoma Park Farmers Market in Takoma Park, Maryland; Smith Meadows Farm Store in Berryville, Virginia; Oylers Organic Farms and Market in Biglerville, Pennsylvania; and Talking Breads Farm Store in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
Listeria can cause fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, including the young and elderly, and can also cause miscarriages. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the cheeses, but the bacteria was detected during routine sampling by the Food and Drug Administration.
