Whole Foods recalls cheese in NY, NJ, and CT stores over listeria concerns
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Whole Foods Market stores in the Northeast are voluntarily recalling Dorset cheese due to concerns over possible listeria contamination.

The company says the cheese was cut and wrapped in plastic with a Whole Foods Market scale label, identifiable by PLU code 97776 with sell-by dates through 10/30/2019.
No illnesses have been reported so far.
Listeria monocytogenesis is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, pregnant women and others with weakened immune systems.
