"Listeria Outbreak Prompts Costco and Trader Joe's Dairy Product Recalls"

Costco, Trader Joe’s, and other retailers have recalled numerous products due to a listeria outbreak linked to cheese and dairy products from Rizo López Foods, resulting in at least two deaths and 26 illnesses across 11 states. The recalled items were sold nationwide, including at Costco and Trader Joe’s, and consumers are advised not to consume them. Listeria, a bacteria that can cause listeriosis, poses a particular risk to older, immunocompromised, and pregnant individuals, and symptoms can include vomiting, fever, and muscle aches. Consumers who have purchased the affected items should seek a full refund and clean any surfaces that may have come into contact with the products.
