Food Safety Alert: Listeria Monocytogenes Detected in Matured Mixed Cheese
On November 14, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving matured mixed cheese. The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition has confirmed the presence of Listeria Monocytogenes, a harmful bacterium that poses serious health risks, particularly to vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
This incident has been categorized under control measures due to the bio-contaminant hazard associated with the affected product. Listeria can lead to listeriosis, a serious infection that can cause symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal distress. In severe cases, it can result in meningitis or septicemia, making it crucial for consumers to be aware of this contamination.
Consumers are advised to check their refrigerators for any matured mixed cheese products and to discard any items that may be affected. It is essential to follow proper food safety practices, including thorough cooking and maintaining appropriate refrigeration temperatures to minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses.
As this situation develops, updates will be provided by health authorities. Stay informed and prioritize food safety to protect yourself and your loved ones.
