Food Recalls Today — November 11, 2026
One new recall hit the FDA list yesterday, and it's a big one if you keep raw cheddar in the fridge. Family Farmstead Dairy in Worcester, New York is recalling ALL of its raw mild and raw sharp cheddar — every 8 oz plastic-wrapped block with a lot code or best-by date of 10/16/27 or earlier — because it may be contaminated with Listeria. This is the same dairy that recalled one lot of the same cheese for E. coli back on October 15, and now the recall covers both cheddars and a lot more ground. Check your fridge before you slice anything.
Family Farmstead raw cheddar — Listeria. Family Farmstead Dairy of Worcester, New York is recalling all of its Raw Mild Cheddar and Raw Sharp Cheddar, 8 oz plastic-wrapped blocks, all lot codes dated 10/16/27 and prior. The lot code is the best-by date, printed on the back label. The cheese went to retail stores in 12 states: New York, New Jersey, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennessee. The hazard is Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems, and can cause miscarriage or stillbirth in pregnant women. No illnesses have been publicly reported in connection with this recall. What to do: do not eat it — return it to the place of purchase for a refund, or call Family Farmstead Dairy at (607) 397-4044, Monday through Friday 8:00–5:00, or email customerservice@familyfarmsteaddairy.com. And wash the shelf or drawer where it sat, plus any knife or cutting board that touched it — Listeria grows even in the fridge, and these blocks keep until October 2027. Bo's take: this is the same dairy that had an E. coli recall on the same cheese three weeks ago — if you bought any of it, check the date, don't guess.
