Savencia Cheese USA announced last week that it was recalling select soft-ripened Brie cheeses over concerns of listeria contamination, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
According to the recall notice posted by the FDA, the affected products have a “best by” date of Dec. 24, 2024, and Jan. 13, 2025. They were sold under the ALDI, Glenview Farms, Market Basket, La Bonne Vie, and Supreme Oval brands.
The products were recalled for potentially being contaminated with listeria, a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections.
The CDC reports that symptoms of a listeria infection can include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
Infections can be even more serious in children, those with pre-existing conditions, the elderly, and those who are pregnant.
The contamination was discovered at a Savencia Cheese USA factory during routine testing of the company’s equipment.
“While finished product testing has not identified contaminated product, we have initiated a voluntary recall to retrieve the potentially affected product,” the recall shared.
