Swiss-American Has Recalled Prima Della Imported
Danish Havarti
St. Louis, MO (SafetyAlerts) - The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) said that Swiss-American, Inc. has
recalled cut pieces of Prima Della Imported Danish
Havarti Plain with a sell by date of March 12, 2003,
because it has the potential to be contaminated with
listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause
serious and sometimes fatal infections in your children,
frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune
systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only
short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe
headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and
diarrhea, listeria infection can cause miscarriages and
stillbirths among pregnant women.

distributed through Wal-Mart grocery stores in the
continental United States.
