Food Recall of Queso Fresco Cheese by Del Bueno

The recall of Queso Fresco Cheese by Del Bueno may not concern anyone in your neighborhood. Recent reports indicate that the recalled product was sold in a limited area.

Del Bueno of Grandview, Washington, announced the recall of Queso Fresco Cheese because of possible listeria contamination. Initially reports stated that the product may have contained salmonella. The information was recently corrected and updated.

Listeria bacteria in food can lead to listeriosis, which can be fatal in anyone who has problems with their immune system, the very young and those who are considered to be frail. Symptoms may include headache, fever, nausea or diarrhea and abdominal pain. Healthy individuals may not suffer symptoms severe enough to feel they need medical attention. However, anyone who suspects they are ill due to consuming a contaminated food should seek medical assistance.

Anyone who would like more information about the recalled products may reach Del Bueno by calling (425) 503-3823. Someone is available from 8 AM until 4 PM Pacific time.

Pregnant women who eat listeria containing foods may not feel ill. However, the listeria may be passed to an unborn child and cause premature birth or stillbirth. Some pregnant women have experienced miscarriages because of eating a food containing listeria. Also, this may cause a child to be born with medical issues that otherwise would not have occurred.

At this time all products are reported to have been sold in stores in Washington and in Hermiston, Oregon. These cheese products are being recalled due to the potential that the products may contain listeria. To date no illnesses connected to Queso Fresco Cheese have been reported. However, to feel safe some consumers may be temporarily avoiding any product that contains the Del Bueno name.
