Garden-Fresh Foods Recalls Garlic Herb Cheese Dip for Listeria Risk

Garden-Fresh Foods is recalling Archer Farms Garlic Herb Cheese Dip because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4, and the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat foods is a high-risk pathogen warranting the highest severity level in the absence of specific injury reports that would lower the classification.
