Overview
- The formal recall covers Reblochon de Savoie AOP (450 g) from Fromagerie Masson with identity mark FR 74.145.050 CE and a minimum shelf-life date of 10.01.2026.
- Distribution was reported in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse, Saxony and Thuringia, with retailers such as Rewe publishing the warning while the manufacturer has not listed specific outlets.
- Authorities describe the issue as suspected contamination with STEC/EHEC, and independent laboratory confirmation has not been publicly reported.
- Consumers are advised not to eat the cheese, to return it for a refund, to handle and dispose of it with careful hygiene, and to seek medical advice if gastrointestinal symptoms develop.
- Health guidance notes an incubation of roughly 2 to 10 days and a risk of hemolytic-uremic syndrome, with young children, older adults and immunocompromised people especially vulnerable; media also note a similar French-cheese incident in October.
