The recall of seven Sargento cheese products has expanded into 12 products produced by Guggisberg Cheese, Inc. of Ohio.
Both companies are served by Indiana manufacturer, Deutsch Kase Haus, LLC, which recalled some cheeses because of possible contamination by Listeria monocytogenes. That bacteria can cause serious illness in those with compromised immune systems, as well as miscarriages in pregnant women.
No illnesses from those cheeses have been reported to date, according to Guggisberg. Consumers who have purchased them are urged to return them for a full refund, or can throw them away. Guggisberg is taking questions at 330-893-2500, 8 a.m.- 4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Many of the products were sold sliced or diced at deli counters. Here are the identifying numbers and packaging for the affected Guggisberg products:
