Georgia Cheese Makers Recall Some Offerings

By Justin Ove

A Georgia-based cheese company is recalling some of its products after the Georgia Department of Agriculture warned of a possible salmonella contamination, 11 Alive News says.

Flat Creek Farm and Dairy is recalling its Aztec Cheddar and Low Country Gouda cheeses following a warning in late November that some of the cheese could have been contaminated by the germ, 11 Alive adds. Flat Creek says that no illnesses have been reported related to the possible contamination.

The Augusta Chronicle reports that the lot numbers affected by the cheese recall are 140802XAZ (Aztec Cheddar), 140702XAZ (Low Country Gouda voluntary recall) and 140725XGO (Aztec Cheddar voluntary recall). Consumers can return the cheese to its point of purchase.

The company says that all its raw milk cheese has been destroyed, and all of its products now undergo pasteurization to prevent contamination, 11 Alive reports.
