MADISON – Scray’s Cheese Company of De Pere is voluntarily recalling one lot of yellow cheese curds out of an abundance of caution, according to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. Due to a process deviation, the company was unable to demonstrate adequate pasteurization for the curds.
Raw milk can be contaminated by bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter and Listeria. If these pathogens were present in the raw milk that was inadequately pasteurized, they may have survived and, if ingested, could cause illness.
