Voluntary Recall Issued for Soft Cheeses by Savencia Over Listeria Contamination Concerns

Consumers are being warned to check their refrigerators for soft cheeses that have been recalled due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. This bacteria can be especially harmful to pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Savencia Cheese USA has voluntarily recalled products like brie and camembert sold under brands such as Aldi and La Bonne Vie. The affected items include Emporium Selection Brie and La Bonne Vie Camembert, with Best Buy dates of 12/24/2024.

According to Click2Houston, routine testing revealed potential contamination in processing equipment at a Savencia facility, though no finished products have tested positive for the bacteria. In response, the company has acted quickly to ensure consumer safety.

No illnesses have been reported linked to the recall. In addition to offering refunds, Savencia Cheese USA is working with retailers to remove the affected products from shelves. Consumers can contact the company’s Consumer Relations team for more information. The recall is being coordinated with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. To check if they have an affected product, consumers are advised to review the UPC codes and Best Buy dates.

A Gallup poll earlier this year showed declining trust in the U.S. food safety standards due to ongoing food recalls. Chowhound reported several concerning recalls, including ready-to-eat chicken and smoked salmon. The current cheese recall is likely to further hurt consumer confidence. Retailers are advised to stop selling the affected items, and consumers are encouraged to return them for a full refund or dispose of them if already purchased.
