A cheese recall tied to an ongoing listeria outbreak has expanded after products tested positive for the outbreak strain. The recall involves soft cheeses, including requeson and ricotta-style products, sold under several brand names and distributed through stores, restaurants, farmers markets, and third-party distributors in multiple states.
