Products and Identifying Information
In September, three separate recalls were announced that could affect consumers in the Appleton-Neenah area. The first involves raw-milk cheeses from the Sierra Nevada Cheese Company, sold under the Graziers brand. Affected varieties include medium cheddar, sharp cheddar, jalapeño jack and Monterey jack, each identified by distinct UPC codes (e.g., 6-87652-16400-9 for Monterey jack). The second recall targets a Walmart-exclusive frozen pasta sold under the Bettergoods label. The product is a Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine in a 22-ounce yellow container, marked with UPC 194346442706 and lot codes L6079C and L6080C. The third recall concerns a dairy-free ice-cream pint from So Delicious, produced by Danone USA. Only the Salted Caramel Cluster flavor is affected, bearing UPC 744473476138 and best-by dates in early 2028.
Sources of the Recalls
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) maintains the official listings for these recalls. Public-health officials initiated an investigation after 13 individuals in nine states reported E. coli illness linked to the Sierra Nevada raw-milk cheese. The company posted its recall on social media in late September. Walmart issued a notice in mid-September after routine testing detected possible Listeria in the Bettergoods pasta, prompting a production halt pending investigation. Danone USA announced a nationwide recall in mid-September after customers reported stones and other foreign objects in the So Delicious ice-cream pints.
Consumer Guidance
Consumers who purchased any of the recalled items should stop using them immediately. The Sierra Nevada cheese can be returned to Urban Market in Neenah for a refund, and any surfaces that contacted the cheese should be cleaned and sanitized. The Bettergoods frozen pasta should be returned to any Walmart location in the Fox Valley for a full refund. For the So Delicious ice-cream, customers are instructed to discard the product and contact the brand’s consumer-care line for reimbursement.
Health Impact Summary
The raw-milk cheese recall follows reports of E. coli illness affecting 13 people across nine states. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the frozen pasta or the dairy-free ice-cream, but the potential presence of Listeria and foreign objects respectively prompted precautionary recalls.
These coordinated actions illustrate the ongoing monitoring efforts by federal agencies and manufacturers to protect public health in the region.
