Brie reminder

Another day, another product falls victim to listeria issues with a cheese recall at major retailers including Aldi and Market Basket. This time, several varieties of brie are on the watch list. Here’s what you need to know about this latest shelf-clearing initiative.

Why was Brie recalled?

Savencia Cheese United States issued a voluntary recall on several Brie products over the weekend after routine checks revealed traces of listeria in their equipment, according to a statement released by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Where you could have bought the recalled brie

The recalled cheese was on the shelves of major retail chains, including Aldi and Market Basket, in several states: Indiana, Texas, California, New Jersey, Missouri, Massachusetts and others.

Identify the recalled cheese

To see if your Brie is part of the recall, look for a best before date of December 24, 2024 and compare the UPC code listed by FDA. Affected brands include Emporium Selection Brie, Supreme Oval 7 oz., La Bonne Vie Brie and Camembert, 12/8 oz. Industrial Brie and market basket Brie 6/8 oz.

How to stay safe during rappelling

If you have recalled Brie in your refrigerator, don’t eat it: return it to the store for a refund. If you have eaten it and start to feel sick, tell your doctor immediately. To stay informed, you can contact Savencia customer service or check the FDA website for the latest recall information.

What exactly is Listeria and who is at risk?

Listeria infection is manageable for most people, but can be dangerous for young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems.

Symptoms can be flu-like and may not appear for days or even weeks, which is why the FDA takes listeria contamination seriously.

In severe cases, listeria can cause pregnancy complications or serious health problems in newborns.
