One person has died and three newborns have become ill in an outbreak of listeria linked to Hispanic-style cheese.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that the death was in California. Seven additional illnesses were in Maryland.
All the Maryland victims had reported consuming soft or semi-soft Hispanic-style cheese that they purchased at different locations of the same grocery store chain. Listeria was later detected in a sample of cuajada en terron, or fresh cheese curd, purchased at that chain.
The CDC withheld the name of the grocery store, as they often do in investigations.

So maybe that cheese was wholesaled and was sold to a local establishment? Is there a possibility the networking language barrier presents a challenge here and the cheese will wind up being consumed by others in local restaurants? This is irresponsible this cheese could be the source of mega healthcare expense for the citizens to absorb- your tax dollars at work. They knew about Neiman Marcus's credit purchases being hacked but kept that silent too.
