Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail, or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Homestead Creamery found the possible contamination after routine testing, and the production of the product has stopped while the Virginia Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services investigates the issue.
Consumers who bought the affected product are asked to return them for a full refund.
Anyone with questions can call the company at 540-721-2045.
