The Scary Reason Whole Foods Has Recalled Some of Its Cheeses

If shopping for fancy cheeses at Whole Foods is one of your favorite pastimes, there are a couple cheeses you'll want to avoid because of a recall issued by the store. Last year, Whole Foods recalled Maytag Blue Cheese because of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination, and recently, the company has recalled more cheeses for the same reason.

This time around, the recall includes raw-milk cheeses from Vulto Creamery, including the Andes, Hamden, and Walton Umber cheeses. The cheeses were cut and packaged in clear plastic wrap with labels beginning with PLU codes 0200307, 0201357, or 0206308 and "sell by" dates from Jan. 2, 2017 to April 2, 2017, so be sure to check your labels if you have any in your fridge.

The raw-milk cheese from Vulto Creamery has caused a few illnesses and deaths. Whole Foods said in a statement, "As of March 10, 2017 Vulto Creamery is reporting the particular strain of Listeria monocytogenes is responsible for six illnesses and two deaths; however, Whole Foods Market has not received any reports of illnesses or injuries from consumers who purchased the raw cheeses from their stores."

For now, it might be best to avoid these cheeses and opt for any number of the best cheeses from Whole Foods.
