Sprout Creek Farm Recalls “ Kinkead ” Cheese due to Possible Health Risk

Sprout Creek Farm of Poughkeepsie, New York is recalling 4 wheels of “ Kinkead ” cheese made on 5-10-18, because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
