FDA Urgently Recalls Cheese Over Dangerous Listeria Risk

If you bought cheese lately, check your fridge. Wegmans is recalling its Medium Camembert Soft Ripened Cheese and products that contain the cheese due to potential listeria contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The affected products were sold between July 1 and August 12 in the cheese department at all Wegmans stores located in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. The recalled products include:

• Wegmans Medium Camembert Soft Ripened Cheese, 8.8 OZ, UPC: 77890-53515 with best by dates of 7/26/25, 8/12/25, and 8/19/25
• Wegmans Assorted Cheese Flight, 1 LB, UPC: 2-77100-00000-0
• Wegmans Grilling Camembert with Tapenade & Roasted Tomatoes, 10 OZ, UPC: 2-77297-00000-0
• Wegmans Caramel Apple Pecan Topped Brie Cheese, 13 OZ, UPC: 2-77645-00000-3

Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, adults age 65 or older, and others with weakened immune systems, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, listeria infections can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women, the agency warns. No illnesses related to this recall have been reported to Wegmans or its supplier so far.

The cheese was supplied to Wegmans by Estancia Holdings of Cumming, Georgia, who initiated a recall after the company was notified by its French supplier that three shipments they received may be contaminated with listeria.

If you purchased any of the affected products, do not eat them. Instead, return them to the service desk at your local Wegmans for a full refund. If you have any questions, contact Wegmans Food Markets at 1-855-934-3663, daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST. The grocery chain has also placed automated phone calls to alert customers who purchased these products using their Wegmans Shoppers Club card.
