Three widespread recalls of some of America’s favorite staples — coffee, cookies, and cheese — mean it’s time to check your kitchen.
Dollar General Instant Coffee Recall
The discount chain Dollar General has recalled three lots of its 8 ounce (oz) Clover Valley instant coffee because the product may contain glass.

No illnesses have been reported so far.
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Infection with listeria during pregnancy can cause miscarriage or stillbirth.
Healthy people don’t usually get sick from listeria exposure, but if they do, symptoms are short term and include fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
