Why was Ambriola Piccante grated Pecorino Romano recalled?

According to the FDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “Product tested positive for Listeria Monocytogenes.” In plain terms, this recall relates to Listeria.

Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can grow even at refrigerator temperatures, which makes it a particular concern in ready-to-eat foods. Health authorities warn that it can cause a serious infection called listeriosis, and that pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable. This is why products potentially contaminated with Listeria are often recalled quickly.
