We’ve got some bad news for cheese-lovers:

Sargento cheese brand recalled more than 10,000 cases of shredded cheese in 15 states, including Georgia.

Here’s why:

The brand’s supplier, Rizo-López Foods Inc. recalled a massive amount of dairy products due to listeria concerns and one of those products was shredded cheese.

Although Sargento made it clear that they were not forced to recall these products, they did so “out of an abundance of caution.” The brand also completely cut ties with Rizo-López Foods Inc.

“As a family-owned company, the safety and quality of its products are top priorities and it remains committed to providing transparency and accuracy,” according to the Sargento brand’s press release.

Here’s which shredded cheeses were recalled by Sargento:

  • Cotija

  • Parmesan

  • Swiss

  • Asiago

  • Monterey Jack

  • White Cheddar

  • Cheddar

  • Nacho and Taco Blend

  • Italian Cheese Blend

  • Taco Cheese Blend

  • Queso Quesadilla Cheese

While Georgia is one of the 15 states affected, here are the others:

  • Arizona

  • California

  • Florida

  • Illinois

  • Indiana

  • Maryland

  • Nevada

  • New Jersey

  • North Carolina

  • Ohio

  • Rhode Island

  • Texas

  • Washington

  • Wisconsin
