Alerta por Listeria: Queso Fresco Retirado del Mercado Tras Brote en Maryland

North Miami Beach residents should be aware of an ongoing investigation into a Listeria monocytogenes outbreak linked to fresh cheeses. Health authorities urge consumers not to eat, sell, or serve any recalled fresh cheeses. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is leading the investigation.

This alert matters to our community because contaminated food products can pose serious health risks, even if the initial outbreak occurred elsewhere. Residents who may have purchased fresh cheeses recently should check for recall notices and dispose of any affected products to prevent illness.

The investigation began after six samples of requesón cheese and one environmental sample collected by the Maryland Department of Health tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. These positive results, confirmed by June 15, 2026, matched the outbreak strain. Further testing on June 24, 2026, found a second environmental sample from Clover Hill Dairy, LLC in Maryland also matched the outbreak strain.

The FDA's investigation into the outbreak continues. Consumers should discard any recalled fresh cheese immediately. Do not consume, sell, or serve these products.
