The Norwegian food safety authority, Mattilsynet, has issued a warning regarding the detection of Listeria contamination in a specific type of soft cheese originating from France.

What is Listeria?
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause serious infections, particularly in vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of listeriosis can include fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal issues, which can lead to severe complications if not addressed promptly.

- Ensure proper storage of cheese products, keeping them refrigerated at appropriate temperatures.
- Practice good hygiene when handling food, including washing hands and utensils thoroughly.
