Check your fridge: Cheese sold at Aldi, other retailers recalled

Several types of semi-soft cheese are being recalled in 12 states due to potential listeria contamination.

Pennsylvania-based Savencia Cheese USA is voluntarily recalling six types of soft-ripened cheeses. The products were sold at Aldi, as well as at Market Basket, a supermarket chain northeast.

States included in the recall are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas and Washington.

The following cheeses are affected by the recall:

• Emporium Selection Brie, 12/8 oz Brie
• Supreme Oval 7oz, 6/7oz
• La Bonne Vie Brie, 6/8 oz
• La Bonne Vie Camembert, 6/8 oz
• 12/8 oz Industrial Brie
• Market Basket Brie 6/8oz

“Best before” dates and UPC numbers for the recalled cheeses are listed in a statement on the FDA’s website.

According to the statement, retailers who received the cheeses have been informed of this possible contamination and are in the process of removing products from their shelves. Consumers who have any of the recalled products are advised not to eat them and should throw them away or return them to the places of purchase.
