Food Safety Alert: Detection of Shigatoxin-Producing Escherichia Coli in Cheese
On November 13, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of Shigatoxin-Producing Escherichia Coli in a type of soft cheese known for its creamy texture and strong flavor. This incident has prompted a recall of the affected cheese, which originated from France.
The presence of Shigatoxin-Producing Escherichia Coli poses a serious health risk, as it can lead to severe gastrointestinal illness. Symptoms may include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and in some cases, more severe complications. Consumers are advised to be vigilant and check their cheese products to ensure they do not contain the affected batch.
The recall was initiated by the Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC), which is responsible for monitoring food safety and ensuring that food products meet health standards. The agency is working closely with retailers to remove the contaminated cheese from shelves and prevent further distribution.
Consumers who have purchased this cheese are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. It is essential to stay informed about food safety recalls and to practice safe food handling to minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses.
