NORTH DAKOTA (KXNET) — Savencia Cheese USA is issuing a voluntary recall of select products that could potentially pose a Listeria risk.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, as well as miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women. Healthy individuals can also be infected, but may only suffer short-term symptoms like high fevers, headaches, nausea, stiffness, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

According to a press release from Savencia Cheese, it was identified that processing equipment at one of their facilities may have been contaminated. While finished testing has not identified any contaminated products, the company has issued a voluntary recall of cheese that could be infected. The recall affects all of the following products:
