Check Your Fridge: Cheese Products Recalled Due to Possible Listeria Contamination

If you have soft cheese products in your refrigerator, you may want to check the label as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just announced a recall on multiple Savencia Cheese products due to possible listeria contamination.

Savencia Cheese USA has voluntarily recalled select soft-ripened cheeses sold at Aldi, Market Basket, and other grocery stores throughout the U.S. The following products are included in the recall:

• Emporium Selection Brie, 12/8oz Brie - 12/24/2024 Best Buy date
• Supreme Oval 7oz, 6/7oz. - 12/24/2024 Best Buy date
• La Bonne Vie Brie, 6/8oz. - 12/24/2024 Best Buy date
• La Bonne Vie Camembert - 12/24/2024 Best Buy date
• 12/8oz Industrial Brie - 12/24/2024 Best Buy date
• Market Basket Brie 6/8oz. - 12/24/2024 Best Buy date

The products included in the recall had limited regional distribution throughout the U.S. The retailers that did receive the products are currently in the process of removing them from shelves. If you have purchased the recalled soft cheeses, the FDA advises you to throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

While there have been no confirmed reports of illness due to consuming these products, listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, in young children, and in elderly people. Symptoms include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, according to the FDA.
