Whole Foods recalling ricotta salata cheese

Posted: Updated:

(CNN) - Whole Foods is recalling the Frescolina brand ricotta salata from Forever Cheese because of a deadly outbreak caused by Listeria.

The cheese was sold to distributors for retailers and restaurants across the country between June 20th and August 9th. Three deaths and 14 hospitalizations in 11 states have been linked to the tainted product, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Symptoms of infection may include fever, muscle aches, nausea or diarrhea.  

Pregnant women and adults with weakened immune systems are at the greatest risk of becoming seriously ill.
