Three cheeses were recalled on Thursday December 22 and should no longer be consumed, at the risk of suffering from headaches, fever or even body aches.
It has a privileged place on the end-of-year holiday table: the traditional cheese platter, usually eaten before dessert, is a must for many families. Fresh cheeses, cooked, soft or blue-veined cheeses… there is something for everyone. On the other hand, tasting these little dishes can sometimes turn into a nightmare… and make us sick. This is what is likely to happen if you consume three cheeses from the Laiterie de la Vallée de Munster brandwhich are currently the subject of a recall by the government due to presence of Listeria monocytogenes.
According to Drink reminderwhich posted the product recalls on its Twitter account on Thursday, December 22, the first cheese to no longer be consumed and removed from the shelves is Tomme de la Vallée (plain, with black truffle or wild garlic), marketed from December 14. The recall concerns lots 279, 291, 299, 304, 314 and 318. Then the Tommette of the Valley (plain, with wild garlic, fenugreek and black truffle), sold from November 14, should also be excluded from your cheese platters. The recall concerns the same batches as Tomme de la Vallée. Finally, the Munster AOP with raw milk (in its large and small size, plain and cumin), offered for sale from the November 3, is also affected by the recall. It will be necessary to identify lots 284, 300, 312, 319 and 328. Also note that these products have been sold throughout France, in small and large stores, such as Carrefour Express, Intermarché, Super U and Leclerc. The list of distributors is available on the site of Reminder Conso.
