Cambrooke Foods Recalls All Low Protein Imitation Cream Cheese Products Because of Possible Health Risk

Cambrooke Foods, LLC, of Framingham, MA, is announcing a recall of all batches of its Low Protein Imitation Cream Cheese (“Cheddar Wizard,” “Herb & Garlic,” and “Plain” flavors).

Cambrooke Foods® is undertaking this recall as a precaution because some of these products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.  

During routine batch testing before shipment, Listeria was detected in batches of Imitation Cream Cheese at the company’s Randolph, MA facility.  These batches of Imitation Cream Cheese products were destroyed and never shipped to customers.

To be cautious and proactive, Cambrooke Foods® is also conducting a market withdrawal of all batches of its Low Protein Peanot Butter™ because it is produced using the same machinery used to produce the Imitation Cream Cheese products. 

These products are sold to customers with special dietary needs.  These products are distributed  directly to consumers and  to a  limited number of distributors in the U.S. and Canada.

The company has ceased the production and distribution of these products.  

Customers should discard all units in their possession and contact the company to have their account credited.  Customers should register their notice of this recall with the company by visiting: http://www.cambrookefoods.com/information/product_recall.php.  If there are questions, contact Cambrooke Foods® at 1-866-456-9776, ext. 1015, or via email at safetyfirst@cambrookefoods.com.
