Food Safety Alert: Listeria Monocytogenes Detected in Soft Cheese
On August 19, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of Listeria Monocytogenes in a type of soft cheese known as brie. This incident has prompted a recall due to the potential health risks associated with the consumption of contaminated dairy products.
The source of the contamination has been traced back to France, where the affected cheese was produced. Listeria Monocytogenes is a pathogenic 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 may include fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal distress, and in severe cases, it can lead to more serious health complications.
Consumers are advised to check their refrigerators for any soft cheese products, particularly brie, and to discard any items that may be affected. It is crucial to adhere to food safety practices, including proper storage and handling of dairy products, to minimize the risk of contamination.
The New Zealand Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) is actively monitoring the situation and working to ensure that all affected products are removed from the market. For further information, consumers should stay updated through official food safety channels.
