No More Cheesemaking for Vulto Creamery After Deadly Listeria Outbreak
Late last week, a federal court ordered a dairy producer linked to a Listeria monocytogenes outbreak to cease operations, at least until it can comply with food safety regulations.
Walton, NY-based Vulto Creamery and its owner—Johannes Vulto—were ordered by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York to end its preparing, processing, manufacturing, packaging and holding of all its ready-to-eat, raw milk cheese products. The company first needs to align its processes with U.S. Food and Drug Administration food safety standards and rid its facility of Listeria monocytogenes contamination once and for all.
