The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is warning retailers and consumers that Santa Rosa Cheese, Naturally Aged White Cheese may be contaminated with E. coli.

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.
