Parkers Farm Garlic Cheese Spread Recalled for Listeria Risk

Parkers Farm Inc is recalling Bucky Badger Garlic Cheese Spread due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

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, a high-risk pathogen, in a ready-to-eat food product typically warrants the highest severity rating in the absence of specific injury data that would lower the risk profile.
