A cheese brand has recalled one of its products over a serious health risk.
Face Rock Creamery LLC issued a voluntary recall on its Vampire Slayer Garlic Cheddar, according to a recent report published by the United States Food and Drug Administration. The recall was issued after the FDA discovered Listeria monocytogenes in the area where the cheese was packaged.
There were only 16 affected units of cheese that were sold at the Face Rock flagship store located at 680 2nd St. SE, Bandon, Oregon. The product can be identified by the UPC code 8 512222 00547 8, according to the FDA’s report.
The six-ounce blocks of cheese were sold between November 10 at 3:30 p.m. PT and November 13 at 3:30 p.m. PT.
Although no illnesses have currently been reported, those who have purchased the affected cheese are urged to either destroy the product or return it to the store in exchange for a full refund.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Listeria is a “bacteria that can contaminate many foods,” with infections caused by eating food with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria. Although symptoms can vary, a listeria infection can “cause invasive illness and intestinal illness.”
Short-term symptoms among healthy individuals with a Listeria infection can include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, and abdominal pain.
Listeria infection is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the United States, killing roughly 260 people per year.
The cheese recall is the latest in a string of contaminated products affecting consumers. Earlier this month, Moonlight Companiesrecalled its yellow and white peaches grown in California and sold across the country, because Listeria was discovered in the packing facility.
Affected fruit was sold nationwide between September 16 and October 29, 2025. They were sold as both individual pieces of fruit and multi-packs. This recall “does not include packages or PLU stickers with the words ‘Washington’ and/or ‘Organic,’” the FDA’s report reads.
The peaches were available for sale at major retailers, including Kroger, Sprouts, Food Lion and Trader Joe’s.

Prior to that, Nate’s Fine Foods of Roseville, California company recalled nearly 245,000 pounds of various precooked pasta products, including linguine, fettuccine and penne, which caused a deadly listeria outbreak resulting in six deaths and 27 illnesses as of November 1.
