The recalled products are the latest items connected to a 15-state Listeria outbreak first announced in June. As of October 10, there were 20 confirmed cases of Listeria infections linked to the outbreak, according to the FDA. At least four people have died and 19 have been hospitalized.

Listeria is most likely to sicken pregnant women and newborns, adults aged 65 or older, and people with weakened immune systems, per the FDA. Other people can be infected, but they rarely become seriously ill. Pregnant women typically experience fever, fatigue, and muscle aches. However, Listeria infection during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn.

Check your refrigerator or freezer for the recalled products and throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Also, wash and sanitize bowls, cups, storage containers, and other surfaces that may have come into contact with the recalled products. For questions, contact Nate’s Fine Foods at 916-677-7303 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

FDA Urgently Recalls Cheese Over Dangerous Listeria Risk http://livelaughlovedo.com/fda-urgently-recalls-cheese-over-dangerous-listeria-risk/ http://livelaughlovedo.com/fda-urgently-recalls-cheese-over-dangerous-listeria-risk/#respond Thu, 14 Aug 2025 17:15:50 +0000 http://livelaughlovedo.com/2025/08/14/fda-urgently-recalls-cheese-over-dangerous-listeria-risk/ [ad_1]

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.
