New Yorkers have been warned to avoid “Queso Fresco, Fresh Cheese” products made by Mexicali Cheese Corp. in Woodhaven, New York due to a possible Listeria contamination. The product is packaged in a “rigid” 14 oz. plastic tub that displays a plant number of 36-0128 and a code of 071512. The product was packaged in containers bearing the following names: ‘Mexicali Queso Fresco Medicano, Mexican Style Fresh Cheese,’ ‘Acatlan Queso Fresco, Fresh Cheese’ ‘Mi Quesito Mexicano, Mexican Cheese’ ‘Quesillo Ecuatoriano, Ecuadorian Style Cheese’ A routine sample of the cheese was taken by the Division of Milk Control and Dairy Services on June 20. The department’s food laboratory detected a preliminary positive test result for Listeria on June 25, after which the company initiated a voluntary recall. The department confirmed those test results on Friday, June 29. No illnesses have been reported. The department will take additional samples to determine whether or not the product is now free of pathogens.
