Boar's Head pecorino romano cheese recalled for possible listeria risk: FDA

Some Boar's Head-labeled food items have been recalled due to a risk of bacterial contamination, according to the FDA.

According to a notice from the Ambriola Company, the recall is tied to some of its pecorino romano cheese products that could potentially contain listeria.

The company distributes some of the cheese under the Boar's Head brand.

The recall includes cheese sold in six-ounce containers.

So far, there are no reports of anyone getting sick.
