Listeria monocytogenes found in food sparks recall of dozens of brand names.
The list of cheese-related products recalled over listeria concerns just got a little longer as the FDA added a Bristol Farms salad kit.
According to the FDA, the company sent out a recall for its Chicken Taco Kit with a sell-by date of 1/18/24 because the Chipotle Crema sauce cup that comes in the kit could potentially be contaminated by listeria.
Currently, there are no reports of illnesses linked to the product, but the company is asking people who purchased it to either throw it away or return it to any Bristol Farms for a full refund.

What started the listeria recalls?
Rizo-López Foods has recalled over four dozen dairy products, including cheese, crema, yogurt, and sour cream, because of possible contamination with listeria.
The products were being sold under different brand names, including 365 Whole Foods Market, Don Francisco and Tio Francisco.
According to the company, its products were also sold at retail delis like El Super, Cardenas Market, Northgate Gonzalez, Superior Groceries, El Rancho, Vallarta, Food City, La Michoacana, and Numero Uno Markets and more.
The FDA says the company temporarily stopped production and distribution of these products while the investigation continues.

According to officials, Rizo-López Foods has been connected to listeria outbreaks before, and the latest outbreak is contributing to a multi-year investigation involving several different states.
