Redwood Hill Farm & Creamery has recalled its raw goat milk feta because test results indicated the presence of listeria, the company said Friday.
The product was sold at two Marin retail outlets, Cowgirl Creamery in Pt. Reyes Station and Good Earth Natural Foods in Fairfax. The containers are labeled Raw Goat Milk Feta – Redwood Hill on the store labels, with Lot Code #14000610.
Redwood Hill is taking this voluntary action as a precaution and has not heard of any illnesses arising from eating the product, the company said.
“We got confirmation June 18 that all products had been pulled from the outlets’ shelves,” said Helen Lentze, a spokeswoman for Redwood Hill. The stores have put up signs alerting customers to the recall, Lentze said.
“If anyone bought a container with ‘Raw Goat Milk Feta — Redwood Hill’ on the label, we urge all customers to discard the product and contact the store for a refund,” Lentze said. The product was also sold at Cowgirl Creamery at the San Francisco Ferry Building and Bom Dia in San Francisco.
