By Amanda GreenwoodShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberA Class I product recall (which is the Food and Drug Administration’s highest-risk product recall category) has been issued by Ambriola Company for certain cheese products due to a potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
As a result, the Deli company, Supreme Service Solutions LLC, has voluntarily pulled varieties of its Boar’s Head-branded Pecorino Romano Cheese after learning the affected batches were manufactured and supplied by Ambriola. As a precaution, Boar's Head has also withdrawn other Ambriola-supplied products.
Why It Matters
Listeria is a dangerous bacterium that can cause severe illness, such as meningitis or sepsis, particularly in vulnerable groups such as the elderly, those with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women.
What To Know
...On Monday, Supreme Service Solutions, LLC—operating as Supreme Deli—announced a voluntary recall on specified Boar's Head Pecorino Romano cheese products due to the potential presence of Listeria monocytogenes.
The recall was initially initiated by Ambriola Company, which produces select Boar’s Head cheeses, after the FDA notified the company about the potential contamination. Affected products include:
- Boar’s Head Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese – 6 oz (UPC: 042421-05858, Sell-by dates: 11/21/25 to 3/12/26)
- Boar’s Head Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese (UPC: 042421-15119, Sell-by dates: 11/21/25-3/12/26)
Boar's Head also stated that, “in an abundance of caution,” it has decided to withdraw all Ambriola-produced products, which include the following cheese item, which is not part of the recall:
- Boar’s Head Pecorino Romano Cheese pre-cut wedge – 7 oz (UPC: 0-42421-15160, Sell-by dates: 11/25/25 to 5/11/26)
According to the FDA announcement, the recalled products were sold in Kroger stores across Kentucky and Indiana and packaged in clear plastic containers of “various sizes.” It has also issued a warning for the following Boar's Head-branded deli salads and wraps, which could potentially be contaminated:
- EverRoast Chicken Caesar Salad (UPC: 850042244142, Sell-by dates: 11/9/2025-11/22/2025)
- EverRoast Chicken Caesar Wrap (UPC: 85004224455, Sell-by dates: 11/9/2025-11/22/2025)
No illnesses or consumer complaints related to Supreme Deli’s recall have been reported at the time of writing this.
Consumers with recalled items should immediately discard them or return them to the store where they were purchased. They can also contact Ambriola Company at [email protected] or Boar’s Head on 1-800-352-6277 for further information.Boar's Head withdrew millions of pounds of deli products last year, when a listeria outbreak killed 10 and sickened dozens more, prompting a federal investigation, which resulted in the temporary closure of its main plant in Virginia.
What People Are Saying
According to Boar’s Head: “Boar’s Head took immediate action to halt the purchase of these products from The Ambriola Company, notify retail partners, and ensure that the affected products are being removed from distribution nationally.”
What Happens Next
Consumers are advised to closely monitor recall notices and seek medical advice if they experience symptoms of listeriosis, which include fever, muscle aches, headache, confusion, and gastrointestinal distress.
