Community Alert from the St. Mary's County Health Department!
Consumer advisory issued for Clover Hill Dairy requesón/soft ricotta cheese products due to risk of foodborne illness

The Maryland Department of Health announced today that Clover Hill Dairy (Mechanicsville, MD) has issued a voluntary recall of its requesón/soft ricotta products due to possible Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) contamination.

Clover Hill Dairy products are sold directly from their retail market, at farmers markets, and through third party distributors, including in New York and Virginia. Some varieties may have jalapeño or other flavors. Products may be relabeled under a different brand name when distributed, so consumers are urged to check the manufacturer information on packages, if available. The label should identify the Clover Hill Dairy manufacturer permit (or plant) number as “24-128”.

Consumers, retailers and restaurants should not eat, sell or serve products containing Clover Hill Dairy requesón/soft ricotta products, and should dispose of any product containing them. Photographs contained in this release show the front label of sample Clover Hill Dairy requesón/soft ricotta products. This does not represent all products and distributors affected by this voluntary recall.

Due to the public health risk, the Maryland Department of Health has suspended the facility’s operating license, and is conducting a follow up evaluation in cooperation with the facility.
