Federal health officials are warning consumers not to eat recalled soft cheese products tied to a listeria outbreak.

Health agencies told consumers not to eat recalled soft cheese products tied to the outbreak. The investigation update identified product categories and advised households to check refrigerators and freezers. Listeria can be especially serious for pregnant people, older adults, newborns and people with weakened immune systems.

For local households, the most useful response is to check official agency guidance and follow any product, health or safety instructions. Anyone with medical concerns should contact a clinician or the appropriate public-health office.

The information is based on CDC, FDA updates and should be checked against those official pages for exact times, product details, account instructions or schedule changes.
