The Ambriola Company is recalling multiple cheese products sold across the United States after routine testing confirmed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, the company said in an announcement published by the Food and Drug Administration on Nov. 26.

New Jersey-based Ambriola, an importer and producer of Italian cheeses, said earlier this week that it was voluntarily recalling Boar’s Head Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese due to the potential presence of the bacterium.
