USA – Two dairy companies have been forced to recall some of their products due to potentially dangerous contamination.

Rio Grande Food Products, Maryland has recalled its Queso Duro Viejo hard cheese because it has possibly been contaminated with Salmonella. The organism can cause serious and sometimes fatal infection.

No illnesses have been reported to date and all affected products have been recalled.

Schratter Foods, New Jersey, has recalled all packages of its Frico brand Chevrette Goat’s Milk Cheese, imported from Holland, because it may contain undeclared lysozyme made from egg whites.

People who have an allergy to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product. One person has been reported ill in connection with this problem.
