Bay Shore, New York-based Made Fresh Salads has recalled 14 cream cheese flavors in 5-pound white plastic containers due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination[1][2]. The recalled products were distributed directly to stores and distributors in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and New York with an expiration date of February 27, 2026[1][2]. The contamination was discovered during the company's routine testing, which revealed the presence of Listeria in a part of the mixer used to make the products[1][2]. The company stopped production with this mixer and removed it from service[1][2]. No cases of the disease have been reported so far[1][2]. Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems, and can lead to miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women[2][5]. Consumers who have purchased these products should return them to the place of purchase for a refund or dispose of them safely[1].
