FDA Files Complaint Against Peregrina Cheese, Food Safety News – Peregrina Cheese, Brooklyn, NY, has had a complaint filed against it regarding repeated warnings to clean up its manufacturing practices. Since 2003 the company has been cited for having Listeria monocytogenes in both its cheese and plant production areas. In addition, the general environment of the plant was found to be in poor condition.
Because Listeria poses a potential threat to the health of the consumer, the FDA will pursue aggressive actions in order to halt the company’s unsafe practices by any means necessary.
