Corleggy Cheese is recalling its Cavanbert and Drumlin raw cows’ milk cheeses because they were made from milk from a herd in which animals tested positive for Mycobacterium bovis. Mycobacterium bovis causes tuberculosis (TB) in cattle and consumption of contaminated dairy products can also cause human TB although such infections are rare.
