Garlic Cheddar Recalled for Possible Listeria Contamination
Face Rock Creamery issues a voluntary recall of 6oz. Vampire Slayer Garlic Cheddar after FDA sampling detects Listeria in its processing area.
Face Rock Creamery LLC of Bandon, Oregon has voluntarily recalled a limited quantity of its 6oz. Vampire Slayer Garlic Cheddar after an FDA environmental sample detected Listeria monocytogenes in the processing area where the cheese was packaged. The company announced the recall on November 14, 2025.
No finished product has tested positive for contamination, but the company is recalling the affected items out of caution. Listeria can cause serious and sometimes life-threatening infections, particularly among young children, older adults, individuals with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women. Healthy individuals typically experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, nausea, abdominal pain, or diarrhea, but infections during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth.
The recall applies to 16 units of Vampire Slayer Garlic Cheddar with a use-by date of 11/04/26. These products were sold exclusively at the Face Rock Flagship store, located at 680 2nd St. SE in Bandon, Oregon, between November 10 at 3:30 p.m. PT and November 13, 2025 at 3:30 p.m. PT.
