A recall has been issued for Family Farmstead Dairy's cheddar cheese products due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

While healthy individuals may only experience short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
