A Michigan company that distributes Mexican-style cheese in 10 states has announced a recall of five types of cheeses that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

• The recall, announced in a press release posted on the Food and Drug Administration's website, applies to all lots and all expiration dates of five different cheeses made by Torres Hillsdale Country Cheese of Reading, Mich.
  
  The products were distributed to retail stores and delis in the following states: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin.
  
  The products were sold under the name 'Aguas Calientes' as follows:
  
  Queso Asadero -- 12 oz and 10 lb ball
  
  Queso Oaxaca -- 10 lb ball
  
  Queso Fresco -- 1lb and 8 oz
  
  Queso Requeson -- 1 gallon pail and 3 gallon pail
  
  Morral Adobera -- 3 lb packages

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the recalled products, but Listeria monocytogenes is a potentially deadly pathogen that carries risks of stillbirth and miscarriage in pregnant women. Healthy adults usually recover from a case of Listeriosis without medical attention, but the disease is dangerous for young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
