It has been brought to the attention of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States that Savencia Cheese USA has issued a recall that affects many brands of soft-ripened cheeses. It was revealed by the firm via normal testing that the processing equipment it used could have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes during the manufacturing process.
This recall of Camembert and Brie cheese was undertaken by Savencia in order to avoid the severe diseases that may occasionally be fatal that can be caused by listeria.
Savencia is recalling its cheeses for what reason?
Listeria is a bacterium that causes an infection that may be dangerous for pregnant women, individuals older than 65, and those with weaker immune systems, according to the Mayo Clinic. The equipment that Savencia uses to create its soft cheeses was discovered to be infected with listeria, which is a bacteria that causes the illness.
Due to the fact that soft cheeses have the potential to be infected with listeria, it is generally recommended that consumers avoid eating them while pregnant. In pregnant women, a listeria infection is a serious condition since it has the potential to cause stillbirths and miscarriages.
Which items have been taken off the market?
The items, according to Savencia, had a restricted distribution in certain parts of the United States, but the company did not disclose which locations. The company’s Brie and Camembert cheeses were distributed to various supermarkets, including Aldi and Market Basket.
An inventory of cheeses that have been recalled was distributed by the FDA:
- Selection of Brie from the Aldi Emporium
- The very best oval brie
- A Breed of the Good Life
- Camembert from the La Bonne Vie
- Brie from the Market Basket
- The Spreadable Brie from Glenview Farms
Make sure to examine the list of product labels that is supplied at the conclusion of the recall notification in order to establish whether or not your Brie or Camembert is included in this recall. Pay attention to the use-by-date (UPC) and the best purchase date that are printed on the product labels.
What should I do at this moment?
The shops who were in possession of the Brie and Camembert are aware of the contamination and will remove the items that have been contaminated from their shelves. If you have any of the items that have been recalled at home, you should not consume them. If you want, you may return the cheese to the retailer and get a complete refund.
Please get in touch with your physician as soon as possible if you have consumed any of the goods that have been described above and are experiencing symptoms of listeria poisoning such as fever, headache, muscular pains, stomach discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea.
