Soft cheeses often get extra attention during recall alerts because they're typically eaten as-is, without cooking that could help kill harmful bacteria. That's why it's a good idea to pay attention when health officials issue warnings about refrigerated dairy products.
The FDA has expanded a cheese recall connected to an ongoing listeria outbreak investigation involving requeson, a soft cheese similar to ricotta. The investigation has been linked to 12 illnesses, 10 hospitalizations and one death.
