Sargento Foods issued a limited recall of shredded cheese sold to some food service customers due to a listeria outbreak tied to a California dairy company.

The recall impacts some Sargento products made with cheese from Rizo-López Foods. It does not affect Sargento-branded retail products.

The outbreak has been linked to at least 26 illnesses and 2 deaths across 11 states.

The listeria outbreak follows a separate case this week involving a New York cheese maker pleading guilty over a 2017 outbreak that killed 2 people.
