[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the replies.  I was curious, so I took a look at FDA's website for recalls. It looks like only two months of data, but here's the foods recalled for possible listeria:

[b]queso fresco[/b]
cashews
macademia Nuts
[b]queso fresco[/b]
burritos
[b]white cheese[/b]
spinach
chicken and waffle sandwich
pancakes, waffles, toast
cashew butter
organic basil pesto
smoked fish
sweet peas.

So...no lunch meat. Not indicative of much, just interesting[/quote]

Queso fresco/white cheese is the most common culprit, as you can see.  I avoided that, raw shellfish, high mercury fish, and maybe one or two other things (though not reputable sushi, deli meat, or raw fruits or vegetables).[/quote]

Dumb question, but what is "white cheese"?  Is that like white cheddar, white american?  Or feta, goat cheese, etc.[/quote]

The risk is specifically raw/unpasteurized cheeses.  Just make sure the cheese is pasteurized.[/quote]
