this sheep’s cheese presents a risk of listeria contamination

The government is launching a new alert after the discovery of a risk of listeria contamination in sheep’s cheese sold throughout France, and in several brands. Be careful !

Unfortunately, the product recalls are regular throughout the national territory, if not daily. In fact, recently the GIFI brand was once again in the crosshairs of the authorities, since several items were removed from the shelves of all its stores, namely a child’s toy which would present a risk of burns, in the same way as two barbecue models. Last week, the official website Consumption reminder has warned consumers who purchased candles that may spray hot wax and targeted baby wash for removal from sale due to microbiological contamination.

The alerts also affect the automobile market, the ready-to-wear sector and, even more, that offood. Canned sardines were in turn recalled, as were succulent chocolate éclairs sold at ALDI. THE cheeses are particularly concerned and the health authorities have also asked the French to be vigilant before eating the gorgonzola mascarpone that they recently purchased at Leclerc.

This sheep’s cheese can transmit listeriosis

This is the bacteria called Listeria which is the subject of this increased vigilance and, once again, it is this which pushes the manufacturer SCHOEPFER to demand the withdrawal of all supermarkets from a Corsican sheep’s cheese. This cheese was available on store shelves Spar, U express, The Little Casino, Intermarché, Lecasud or Leclercbetween June 5 and 10, 2024. Their expiration date had been set between June 23 and 29, depending on the date on which the product was put in plastic.

The site Consumption reminder provides more details to allow consumers to confidently determine whether or not they are affected. For this we give the GTIN (bar code) 3252540952692 and the number of lot 24024050. In the description of the recall sheet, it is stipulated that this “product to keep in the refrigerator” is presented in the form of a “portion of cheese in transparent film of approximately 200g (variable weight)”with sales reference “Schoepfer 95269”. We cannot recommend enough to exercise the greatest caution because this bacteria is capable of transmitting the listeriosisa infection which can lead to hospitalization in certain cases.

The end of the recall procedure set for June 29

Symptoms are easily identifiable, such as fever, whether “isolated or accompanied by headaches and aches”, can we read on the said site. Furthermore, “serious forms with neurological complications and maternal or fetal damage in pregnant women can also sometimes occur”. Finally, we insist on the fact that listeriosis is a disease “severe” whose incubation period can go from up to eight weeks.

The recall procedure is in effect and it is entirely possible to return the sheep’s tomme to the point of sale today to request its refund. Or even destroy the product without delay. A telephone number is made available for anyone who has questions about this recall sheet: 04.90.13.61.52. You have until June 29 to make your arrangements.
