  • On 9 May 2017, a large number of Facebook users shared an alarming link about Sargento (America's Most Popular Cheese) harboring bacteria with the potential to kill your family: America Flash News reported that in early May 2017, Sargento cheeses were part of a massive recall: A date of 9 May 2017 was clearly visible on the report, and on Sargento's Facebook page, concerned users asked about circulating recall rumors. The brand's Facebook team responded to one such comment: A 10 February 2017 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recall notice announced what was then a current recall — but it was not in effect in May 2017: Sargento's web site reiterates that the recall occurred in February 2017, not three months later. In May 2017, representatives for the brand clarified that no recall is currently in effect, and it is unclear why the information recirculated as if it was new. The zombie recall warning is far from the first of its kind, as a similar web site caused a February 2017 scare by resurrecting outdated news of a baby wipes recall. In August and September 2017, multiple items with titles such as Breaking: America’s Most Popular Cheese Recalled ... Immediately Throw It Away, This Can Kill Your Family circulated on Facebook about the same outdated recall. (en)
