The cheeses have been recalled because they were made with unpasteurized milk, according to the Health Department. Unpasteurized milk may contain disease-causing agents that can cause severe illness and, in certain cases, death. To date, no illnesses linked to these products have been reported to the department. The cheeses may have “sell by” dates of Dec. 23 or Dec. 25. The two types of recalled cheeses are: Julima Cheese, Inc.: Queijo Fresco, Sabor de Minas Farm Fresh Cheese and The products are found in hard plastic containers of various sizes, including one-pound, two-pound and 12-ounce containers. They were sold in Portuguese and Brazilian stores and in certain Market Basket outlets in eastern and central Massachusetts and two stores in Rhode Island. The stores in Rhode Island are Luzitania Bakery, at 312 Barton St., in Pawtucket, and Taunton Ave. Bakery, at 208 Taunton Ave., in East Providence. Businesses and consumers who have purchased these products are advised to remove them from sale shelves and discard the product. People should contact their doctors if they have consumed these cheeses and are experiencing any of the following symptoms: vomiting, diarrhea, high fever, stiff neck or intense headache.

Contact your doctor? Have you ever had fine French camembert? It's made with raw milk. People eat raw-milk cheese all the time. The European Union sets strict quality standards for it -- it's essential to their economies.
Please tone this down. If there's bad cheese out there, the health dept. should say so. If it's not bad, they should make a distinction between cheese that breaks the rules and cheese that can make you sick. So should you journalists!
Organic, fresh raw milk cheese is wonderful!
