Recalled cheeses

Three cheeses are currently the subject of product recalls according to the statements of the government site Rappel Conso.

First of all, the first cheese : plain Tomme de la Vallée, with black truffle or wild garlic. These cheeses had been sold since December 14, 2022.

In the event of consumption, consult your doctor, indicating the situation and the presence of Listeria monocytogenes.

The second cheese concerned is the Tommette de la Vallée (plain, with Fenugreek, wild garlic and black truffle). This cheese is therefore no longer on the shelves. The batches concerned seem identical to those of the tomme mentioned above. Sold since November 14, this cheese is therefore the subject of a product recall. At last, the last cheese concerned is the Munster AOP made with raw milk (plain and with cumin). Five batches of this cheese have recently received conformation for the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The lots are therefore 284, 300, 312, 319 and 328. On the shelves since November 3, consumption of this product can turn out very dangerous for health . In fact, the consumer could suffer from severe symptoms. And this, especially for vulnerable people such as pregnant women and children, but also immunocompromised people.
