- #Recall Alert: BrightFarms, Dole, Fresh Express, and Ready Pac have recalled various salad kits that contain cotija cheese. Twenty-six people across 11 states have been sickened by these dairy products, and two people have died. The cheese was supplied by Rizo-López Foods, which recalled nearly 60 types of Hispanic-style cheese and other dairy products linked to a listeriosis outbreak, the illness caused by the bacteria listeria monocytogenes. https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-recalls/brightfarms-dole-fresh-express-ready-pac-salad-kits-recalled-a4793176505/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_TW
