Whole Foods Market recalls Crave Brothers Les Frères cheese after one illness, one death

Whole Foods Market is recalling Crave Brothers Les Frères cheese due to a recall by the Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese Co. of Waterloo, Wisconsin. The cheese has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious, and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. To date, one illness and one death have been reported.
