A critical cheese recall has just been upgraded to the highest level of alert. The FDA, the group that keeps our food safe, found a dangerous bacteria called Listeria in some cheeses. This bacteria can make people very sick, even leading to death. The cheese comes from a factory in New Jersey.

The recall started back in November 2025 when tests first found the bacteria. But now, the FDA has raised the alarm even higher. This means there's a good chance that eating this cheese could make you seriously ill.

So far, no one has gotten sick from this cheese. But it's important to check if you have any of these products at home. The recall includes different sizes and brands of grated Pecorino Romano cheese. You can find the list of affected products and their lot numbers online.

Listeria is no joke. It can cause high fever, muscle pain, and even seizures. It's especially dangerous for pregnant women, babies, older adults, and people with weak immune systems.

If you have any of the recalled cheese, don't eat it. Throw it away or return it to where you bought it. Stay safe and keep an eye out for any updates on this recall.
