A Sargento cheese recall is happening over fears that the product could be contaminated with a deadly bacteria.
Many food and beverage recalls have been related to Listeria monocytogenes, which can lead to a debilitating illness that sometimes leads those it contaminates to their deaths. There are no confirmed illnesses for the time being.
