According to the department’s press release:
The potential for this contamination was determined after recent testing performed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services revealed the presence of generic E.coli bacteria – not the more dangerous E.coli O157: H7 strain - in samples of the cheese collected from the manufacturer’s Miami warehouse. The affected codes for Naturally Aged White Cheese are 565 and 589, various package sizes. Retailers who have purchased this product are urged to return it to the manufacturer - Santa Rosa Cheese, 4795 N.W. 72nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33166. Consumers who have purchased the product should return it to the store from which they bought it.

On August 28, Cargill Meat Solutions, a Wyalusing, PA company, recalled 8,500 pounds of ground beef products due to possible E. coli contamination. The recall comes after the U.S. Department of Agriculture linked the ground beef to three instances of illness in New York and Maine. None of those who were sickened required hospitalization.
On August 20, an additional Iowa company, Hillandale Farms, announced it was recalling 170 million eggs, bringing the total number of eggs recalled due to potential Salmonella contamination to 550 million.

At least 380 million eggs have been recalled due to possible Salmonella contamination. On August 13, Wright County Egg recalled 228 million eggs sold since mid-May. The recall has recently been expanded to include an additional 152 million eggs. The potentially contaminated eggs have reportedly been distributed to 17 states.
