La Nica Products, Inc. is recalling 6,000 pounds of white cheese with the names “Quesos de la Costa,” “Queso Duro Blando,” and “Hard Soft Cheese.”

According to the Food and Drug Administration, a sampling of the cheese by the Florida Department of Agriculture revealed listeria bacteria in the finished products.
No illnesses have been reported.
Consumers who purchased the cheese should return it to the store for a refund.
Listeria can cause symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. It can also sometimes cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
