The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued a recall for Yotvata brand Caciotta Peperoncino cheese due to microbial contamination from Staphylococcus aureus, which can cause food poisoning. The affected product, sold in 250 gram packages with the UPC code 8 00395 0003017 and batch codes LUG 26, was distributed across stores including Costco, Amazon, Home Hardware, and The Home Depot in Ontario and Quebec. Consumers are advised not to use, sell, serve or distribute this cheese, as it can cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea within 30 minutes to several hours after consumption.
