More than 40 lots of cheeses have been recalling due to suspicions of contamination to the Listeria bacteria, which can be particularly dangerous in pregnant women, the government site is said on Tuesday.
Cheeses, among other camemberts, goats, gorgonzolas or BRIES, are sold in most large distributors, such as Leclerc, Auchan, Carrefour. The various reminders were made between Monday and Tuesday.
Most of these products come from the same company, the Chaverand cheese dairy, located in Creuse, indicates the site.
People who have consumed these cheeses “and who would present fever, isolated or accompanied by headache, and aches, are invited to consult their treating doctor by reporting this consumption,” warns the consumption recall site.
“Evil is done”
Listeriosis, caused by the Listeria Monocytogenes, is the second cause of mortality by food poisoning with, in France, a few dozen deaths per year.
“The problem for consumers is that, as usual, these reminders occur too late when the evil is made,” said Foodwatch in a press release.
For the consumer defense association, the cheese dairy should have taken the hygiene measures which are essential and ensuring that it did not sell products that expose consumers to a danger to their health “, after it was the subject of a similar recall in June.
Foodwatch also wonders about the role of our control authorities. What did they do between June and August? She asked her press release.
