Life on Florida’s West Coast

There’s Even Staph in Cheese

The Food and Drug Administration issued a recall of Sabanero Inc. frying and grating cheese loaves. Why? Possible bacterial contamination by Staphylococcus aureus. Staph! In the cheese!

Things are getting bad. Staph is normally found in the noses of humans or in warm area on human skin (scalp, armpits and groin). That is the main way it is carried.

Let’s all check out labels and start buying more products made in the United Sttes, shall we? Our factories are not perfect, but this is yet another product made outside the U.S. The product was made by Cooperativa Colanta in Colombia. So, who at Cooperativa Colanta hasn’t been washing their hands before they handle the product? It seems suspicious to me.

Sabanero is recalling 5.5-pound loaves stamped lot No. 177 and with the expiration date Oct. 22. Anyone with the recalled product should dispose of it and contact Sabanero at 1 (305) 588-0277 or by fax at 1 (305) 482-8218.
