New York cheesemaker pleads guilty in 2016 listeria outbreak case
Fox News
Johannes Vulto, the former head of the Vulto Creamery facility in Walton, New York, has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a deadly listeria outbreak.
Prosecutors say environmental swabs taken at the Vulto Creamery facility in Walton repeatedly tested positive for listeria bacteria between July 2014 and February 2017.
Vulto shut down the creamery and issued a full recall after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2017 linked the creamery’s cheese to an outbreak of listeriosis that resulted in eight hospitalizations and two deaths — one in Vermont and another in Connecticut.
