Panera Bread recalling cream cheese products due to listeria concerns

(95.3 MNC)

Panera Bread has recalled cream cheese products sold in the United States after they tested positive for Listeria.

The recall was initiated after samples of one variety of 2 oz. cream cheese from a single production day showed a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. Listeria can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

No illnesses have been reported, but Panera Bread has recalled all 2 oz. and 8 oz. cream cheese products with an expiration date on or before 4/2/18.
