The company announcement posted by FDA ↗ says the cheese may contain E. coli O157:H7 and was distributed to grocers in New York and New Jersey. It describes clear plastic packaging with green, red and white labeling; the linked notice includes package photos.
The announcement does not name individual retailers. New York distribution is confirmed, but The Rockland Edit has not verified a Rockland store or local illness. No other Family Farmstead products are included in this notice.
The company reported no associated illnesses as of its announcement; that does not change the do-not-eat instruction. Questions: 607-397-4044.
