The Los Angeles-based company said Monday that its “La Original” brand, which comes in a 17.63-ounce clear package could be susceptible to Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus.

The product was distributed only in California. No illnesses have been reported.

The recall was the result of a routine sampling program by the Food and Drug Administration and the company has ceased the production and distribution of the string cheese brand.
