Normandy camemberts, of different brands and sold by various distributors in France, are the subject of a recall procedure due to the possible presence of the bacterium listeria monocytogenes, the Rappel Conso site alerted this Friday.
This recall concerns lot number 23R135, which has an expiration date of August 4.
These are the models:
- “Camembert de Normandie AOP 250g” marketed by the brands “Th. Réaux” and “Le Val d’Ay”
- “Camembert de Normandie 250g, Large Cheese 1kg, Cheese 800g and Small Camembert 150g” marketed by the brand “Le Gaslonde”
These camemberts were marketed between June 9 and 30, 2023 and in wholesalers and creams throughout France, specifies the Rappel Conso site.
“Destroy the product”
Consumers who own this product are invited to “do not consume it anymore”, “do not use it anymore” and “destroy it”.
People who have consumed this product and who “present fever, isolated or accompanied by headaches and body aches, are invited to consult their doctor, notifying them of this consumption”, indicates Rappel Conso, who adds that “serious forms can also occur on occasions with neurological complications and maternal or fetal damage in pregnant women”.
The listeria monocytogenes bacterium is responsible for listeriosis, a disease that can become serious and whose incubation period can be up to eight weeks. Pregnant women, immunocompromised people, and the elderly are called to be especially vigilant.
