WASHINGTON, Jun 24, 2008 (UPI via COMTEX) -- The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration announced the expanded recall of Caseificio Voglie di Latte-brand
burrata cheese due to possible contamination.
The FDA said Fresca Italia of Brisbane, Calif., initiated the recall early this
month because the cheese might be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an
organism which can cause serious infections, including miscarriages and
stillbirths among pregnant women.
The recalled cheese, distributed in the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern
California in retail stores and restaurants, is packaged in a white and green
plastic wrapper with the manufacturer's name, "Caseificio Voglie di Latte" and
the product name "Burrata."
Previously limited to a specific lot, the recall now includes all lot codes and
expiration dates.
Consumers with questions can contact the company at 415-468-9800.
