As has been confirmed by the company, HP Hood has announced a complete recall of some of the Heluva Good branded 8 oz. plastic cup containers of Cold Pack Cheese Food, as it has been discovered that these could contain Listeria monocytogenes, which is an infection which can be held responsible for causing serious and deadly infections in children.
Although the healthy population would only suffer short bouts of fever and nausea if affected by the organism, the infection can end up causing stillbirths and miscarriages in pregnant women.
No illnesses, says the company, have yet been reported.
Among other major cities, the recalled products were distributed in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware.
The recalled products are 8 oz. plastic cup containers of Heluva Good Port Wine Cold Pack Cheese Food with the code number UPC 73570 55503, and with a sell-by date of 1/15/2010 to 12/15/2010, as well as the 8 oz. plastic cup containers of Heluva Good Sharp Cheddar Cold Pack Cheese Food, with code number UPC 73570 55501 and sell by dates of 1/15/2010 to
