Food Safety Alert: Listeria Monocytogenes Detected in Soft Cheese
On August 14, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of Listeria Monocytogenes in a type of soft cheese known as Vieux porche buchette. This incident has prompted a recall to ensure consumer safety and prevent potential health risks associated with the consumption of contaminated food products.
The contamination was traced back to France, where the affected cheese was produced. Listeria Monocytogenes is a pathogenic bacterium that can cause listeriosis, a serious infection particularly dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of listeriosis can include fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal issues, which may lead to severe complications if not addressed promptly.
Consumers are advised to check their refrigerators for any soft cheese products that may be affected by this recall. It is crucial to discard any products that may be contaminated and to practice safe food handling and preparation methods to minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses.
The Singapore Food Agency, formerly known as the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore, is actively monitoring the situation and providing updates as necessary. For further information, consumers should stay informed through official food safety channels and adhere to any guidance provided regarding this recall.
