Wis. cheese recalled due to possible contamination
WESTBY, Wis. (AP) — Bekkum Family Farms LLC of Westby, Wis., is recalling shredded cheese due to a possible bacterial contamination.
The state agriculture department said Wednesday the cheese is labeled "Grumpy Goat Shreds" under the Nordic Creamery brand name.
The product is sold in 8-ounce bags with a code date of 10-MAR-12. It was sold in stores in California, Minnesota and Wisconsin beginning Nov. 11. Consumers who bought the cheese should throw it away or return it to the store for a refund.
A processor informed Bekkum that its cheese was shredded on the same equipment as other cheese that has since tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. Company spokesman Al Bekkum says the Bekkum product hasn't tested positive for Listeria, but the recall is being conducted out of an abundance of caution.

Tainted cheese is probably the result of the RepubliCON's march against any form of government regulation that interferes with the profit margins of some corporate entity they are beholden too. If they can make a buck through deregulation, who cares about the health and welfare of the people.

Well, it should be fed to the RATS who run our state now. Their stories they tell are always full of holes like a block of swiss cheese. They are just no Gouda. The smell coming out of Madison is like Rush Limburger.
I think the Koch brothers are holding the cheese balls of certain politicians.

Reminded me of that old Monty Python Cheese Shop sketch. The store was out of stock of every variety of Cheese. Upon hearing that this was the most popular shop for cheese in the area, The would be purchaser stated that "it certainly was uncontaminated by cheese"
