The Kentucky-based company Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese has recalled a batch of St. Jerome cheese that may be be contaminated with Listeria.
No illnesses were reported, but a routine test by the Kentucky Department of Public Health revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes bacteria in a package of St. Jerome cheese.

The cheese was distributed via wholesale customers, retail storefront, and through Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese website.
It was distributed in two sizes: an 8-oz. wedge in a clear plastic package, and a full 15-pound wheel of cheese in a clear plastic package, marked with a logo label and a sticker with ingredients.
The batch number 231129 can be found on a white label on the side.
Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese said it has suspended production of the product while the source of contamination is being investigated.
