MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) - Whole Foods is recalling a specialty cheese it sold in its Coral Gables store, and a store in New York City, because it may cause fatal food poisoning.
On Tuesday, the upscale Texas-based chain announced it was recalling "Pecorino Aged Cheese in Walnut Leaves" sold in West Palm Beach and the Bowery section of New York City.
On Wednesday, they issued a correction saying it was sold in Coral Gables and not West Palm Beach.
The cheese in question may be contaminated with listeria, a bacteria that can be fatal to young, old or frail people and cause stillbirths.
The Bowery cheese has labels beginning with the code 294239 and sell-by dates from March 3 to 8. The Florida cheese has the code 290107 and sell-by dates from Feb. 29 to March 8.
People who bought the cheese should throw it out and bring to the store for a refund.
