Savencia Cheese Recalls Brie and Camembert Over Listeria Concerns

The voluntary recall affects select soft cheeses with limited regional distribution in the U.S. due to potential contamination.

Routine testing at Savencia Cheese USA's Illinois facility detected possible listeria contamination in processing equipment.
The recall includes several brands, such as Aldi Emporium Selection Brie and La Bonne Vie Camembert, with a best-by date of December 24, 2024.
Impacted cheeses were distributed in 12 states, including California, Texas, and Illinois, with retailers like Aldi and Market Basket involved.
There have been no confirmed reports of illness, but consumers are advised not to eat the recalled products and to return them for a refund.
Listeria monocytogenes poses serious health risks, especially to vulnerable populations, and can survive in refrigerated environments.
