Bleating Heart Cheese voluntarily recalling some dairy products

Dec 18, 2014

Sheep and cow’s milk from late May, June, and early July

By Diego Flammini, Farms.com

Detection of Listeria monocytogenes found in sheep and cow’s milk produced between May and July is the cause of a recall by California’s Bleating Heart Cheese.

The bacteria can cause fever, stiff neck, confusion, and vomiting among other symptoms. It is especially dangerous and sometimes fatal if young children, the elderly, and other people with weakened immune systems come into contact with it.

Pregnant women who come into contact with the bacteria are at risk of miscarriages, stillbirths and fetal infection.

The products being recalled are:

“Ewelicious Blue” – natural rind, aged 2 – 3 months, identifying code 14-0618 on the bottom side of the label.

“Fat Bottom Girl” - natural rind, aged 2 – 3 months, identifying code 14-0702 on the bottom side of the label.

“Goldette Tommette” - natural rind, aged 2 – 3 months, identifying code 14-0527 on the bottom side of the label.

These items were distributed to San Francisco Bay area food stores and restaurants. The US Food and Drug Administration is fully aware of the recall and Bleating Heart Cheese will refund the products with proof of purchase.

The FarmCast, host Troy Randall speaks with Doug Luedke, Vice President of Service, and Davin Peterson, Executive Vice President of Aftermarket at 21st Century Equipment, to discuss the importance of proactive service and how it helps farmers reduce downtime during their busiest seasons. The conversation focuses on the Winter Service Inspection Program, a comprehensive approach designed to keep equipment running at peak performance and limit costly in-season breakdowns through preventative maintenance and expert technician support.

Doug and Devin explain how 21st Century Equipment’s service teams have evolved to meet the needs of today’s connected machines. With more technology and data integrated into modern equipment, technicians now play a vital role in both mechanical repairs and precision ag support. Through advanced diagnostics, machine monitoring, and John Deere’s Expert Alerts, they can identify and address potential issues before they become major problems—saving customers valuable time, money, and frustration.

Throughout the discussion, the team shares real-world success stories demonstrating how proactive inspections and customer-focused service help maximize uptime and efficiency for every operation. Whether it’s a large tractor, combine, or small mower, the goal remains the same: to provide trusted, reliable support that helps farmers and landowners stay productive and confident in their equipment year-round.
