March 9, 2017 — Whole Foods Markets recalled Vulto Creamery raw milk cheese after two products tested positive for the food poisoning bacteria Listeria.

Two samples of Ouleout tested positive for Listeria. One sample was tested by the FDA and the other sample was tested by the New York Department of Agriculture.

On March 7, Vulto Creamery recalled all lots of the following four types of raw milk cheese:
