Your Guide to the Queso Fresco Recall

El Abuelito, the maker of that soft cheese you love, recently made a recall of their queso fresco. The FDA announced that the queso fresco may have been contaminated with an organism that can cause fatal infections to people with weak immune systems, kids, or the elderly.

If you are among the people affected by the recent queso fresco recall, you may be wondering how to navigate through a recall claim request. Dealing with a product recall claim can be tedious and frustrating, especially if you don't know how or have the time to persevere through the long process.

Fortunately, there is an easy way to make a queso fresco claim. DoNotPay is an online product that provides a faster and more convenient way to claim for either a refund or replacement.

How Do I Make a Claim for the Queso Fresco Recall?

To complete a queso fresco recall claim, you first need to confirm that your queso fresco purchase falls along with the recall. Generally, the company will provide specific details that can help you determine the recall threshold.

Once you have confirmed that your purchase falls under the recall, you need to gather the following information to help you make a recall claim:

1. The queso fresco brand name
2. The store where you purchased the product
3. The date of purchase
4. The price

According to the Consumer Product Safety Act, you are entitled to reimbursement in the form of a refund or replacement.

Putting all these requirements together and coming up with a complete recall claim request by yourself can get lengthy and tedious. DoNotPay is an easier alternative that can help you make a recall claim at the click of a button.

What Happened With the Queso Fresco Recall?

On February 19, 2021, El Abuelito Cheese of Paterson, NJ recalled all its Queso Fresco products with sell-by dates 032821. The product was linked to a Listeria monocytogenes outbreak across several states. The cheese products were recalled from supermarkets, wholesale shops, and retail stores.

The brands affected were:

1. The El Abuelito Cheese brand is distributed in New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, and Pennsylvania.
2. Rio Grande Food Products distributed in Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina.
3. Rio Lindo distributed in North Carolina and Maryland.

According to a CDC public report, 13 people acquired the Listeria monocytogenes infection in four states. There were 12 hospitalizations and one fatality. Four of the infected persons were pregnant, which led to two pregnancy losses and one premature birth, with the other patient pulling through safely.

Furthermore, the following recalled cheeses should no longer be available for consumption or sale:

• Queso Fresco
• Quesillo (Oaxaca, string cheese)
• Requeson (ricotta)

Do I Immediately Get a Recall If I Report My Product?
