Multiple sandwich products are being recalled by Indiana-based CIBUS Fresh following concerns that the items harbor pathogens, posing a health risk to consumers.

The company is recalling “products containing ‘Glenview Farms Spreadable Brie, 2/3 lb’ due to supplier notification of a possible Listeria monocytogenes,” according to a Nov. 8 announcement published by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The items were distributed under the labels CIBUS Fresh, Jack & Olive, and Sprig and Sprout and sold in Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, and Tennessee. The company stated that it has informed the FDA about product withdrawals and is trying to ensure that the affected items are no longer in distribution.
