Overview
- The Bavarian food authority published a recall on Thursday, October 29, 2026, after tests found Listeria monocytogenes in several 150 g Mini Brie products made by Eberle Spezialitäten AG.
- The recall names four varieties — Brie Mini Nuss, Brie Mini Schnittlauch, Brie Mini Trüffel and Brie Mini Chili — and lists exact LOT numbers and minimum shelf‑life dates so only those batches are affected.
- Affected batches were distributed by Heiderbeck GmbH in Bayern, Hessen, Nordrhein‑Westfalen, Rheinland‑Pfalz and Sachsen and consumers are advised not to eat the listed products and to return them to the point of purchase for a refund.
- Health guidance notes that listeriosis symptoms can appear days to weeks after exposure and can be severe or life‑threatening for pregnant people, newborns, older adults and immunocompromised individuals, who should seek medical advice even without symptoms if exposed.
- Media reports remind that Eberle faced a separate Listeria‑related recall earlier in 2026, a fact that raises questions about recurring contamination though authorities have not linked the two events as a confirmed cause.
