Wicklow Gold Cheddar Cheese Recalled for Listeria Risk
In January 2025, certain types of Wicklow Gold Cheddar Cheese were recalled due to a risk of Listeria contamination in 5 states by the New Jersey-based cheese manufacturer Abbey Specialty Foods.
The recalled cheeses were advertised as “Handmade Irish Artisan Cheeses.” The recall involves Wicklow Gold Cheddar Nettle & Chive (5.2-oz.) and Wicklow Gold Cheddar Tomato & Herb (5.2-oz.) cheese.
Did Anyone Get Sick?
No illnesses were linked to the recalled batches of Wicklow Gold Cheddar Cheese, according to the recall notice on January 3, 2025.
Instead, Abbey Specialty Foods recalled the cheese after being notified of potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria by their supplier, Wicklow Farmhouse Cheese LTD.
How To Identify Recalled Cheese
The recalled batches of Wicklow Gold Cheddar Cheese were sold in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Colorado. They had “limited distribution in the United States,” according to the recall.
