Whole Foods Market of Austin, Texas joined a cheese recall on Saturday, pulling seven types of cheddar cheese over the risk of E. coli or listeria.

The cheeses -- Sage Cheddar, Silver Mountain Cheddar, Chipotle Cheddar, Premium Block Cheddar, Premium White Chunk Cheddar, Chipotle Chunk Cheddar and White Black Wax Cheddar -- were sold in its stores in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona, according to the Los Angeles Times.

No illnesses have been reported in relation to the recalled products.

Packaged in clear plastic wrap and sold with a "Distributed by Whole Foods Market" sticker, the products are part of a factorywide recall announced by cheese maker Bravo Farms, the report said.

The recall was ordered last week after California officials found listeria at Bravo Farms' plant in Traver, Calif. Earlier this month, Bravo Farms recalled its Dutch Style Gouda cheese in a multi-state outbreak of E. coli 0157:H7.

The gouda was part of a traveling cheese roadshow in about 50 Costco warehouses in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico. Another cheese in the roadshow -- Mauri Gorgonzola which was distributed by DPI Specialty Foods in Tualatin -- was also recalled after Colorado health officials found E. coli 0157:H7 in a sample.

Since mid-October, 38 people in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico have been sickened in the E. coli outbreak linked to the gouda, according to the report.

Of those sickened, 15 were hospitalized and one was diagnosed with kidney failure.

E.coli may cause bloody diarrhoea, stomach cramps and dehydration. In extreme cases, patients can suffer kidney failure.
