Cambrooke Foods, LLC, of Framingham, MA, announced a voluntary recall of all batches of its Low Protein Imitation Cream Cheese, which includes the brand names, “Cheddar Wizard,” “Herb & Garlic,” and “Plain” flavors.
According to the press release, this voluntary recall is a precaution because some of these products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, the bacteria that causes Listeria. Listeria was detected in batches of Imitation Cream Cheese at the company’s Randolph, MA facility during a pre-shipment, routine inspection. These batches of Imitation Cream Cheese products were destroyed and never shipped to customers. At this time, no illnesses have been reported.
Cambrooke Foods® is also recalling all batches of its Low Protein Peanot Butter™ because it is produced using the same machinery used to produce the Imitation Cream Cheese products. There is no confirmation of Listeria contamination in any batch of Low Protein Peanot Butter™. No illnesses have been reported.
These products are sold to customers with special dietary needs and are distributed directly to consumers and to a limited number of distributors in the U.S. and Canada.
Customers should discard all units in their possession and contact the company to have their account credited. Customers should register their notice of this recall with the company. Consumers may also contact Cambrooke Foods® at 1-866-456-9776, ext. 1015, or via email at safetyfirst@cambrookefoods.com.
