Miceli Dairy recalls part-skim ricotta cheese products made with whey protein that tested positive for beta lactam residues. Consumers should check product dates and contact for details.
These ricotta cheese products were manufactured from loads of whey protein concentrate that tested positive for beta lactam residues.
Miceli Dairy is recalling part-skim ricotta cheese products that were made using whey protein concentrate containing beta lactam residues. This poses a potential health risk due to the presence of these residues in the cheese.
Beta lactam residues can be harmful to individuals with allergies to antibiotics like penicillin. The presence of these residues in the cheese means it could cause allergic reactions in sensitive consumers.
Consumers who purchased Miceli's part-skim ricotta cheese in 5-pound tubs (SYSCO Imperial Ricotta) or 15-ounce tubs (Miceli's Part-Skim Ricotta Natural) between August 2014 and September 2014 are affected. Those with allergies to beta lactam antibiotics may be at higher risk.
Check for 5-pound tubs labeled 'SYSCO Imperial Ricotta Cheese' with expiration date August 27, 2014, or 15-ounce tubs labeled 'Miceli's Part-Skim Ricotta Natural' with expiration date September 14, 2014.
Look for expiration dates on the product packaging: August 27, 2014 for SYSCO Imperial Ricotta and September 14, 2014 for Miceli's Part-Skim Ricotta Natural.
The ricotta cheese products were manufactured using whey protein concentrate that tested positive for beta lactam residues.
