Several brands of soft-ripened cheeses, including brie and camembert, have been recalled over potential listeria contamination.
According to an announcement posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the recall was issued by Savencia Cheese USA after routine testing found that processing equipment at the company's Lena, Illinois, manufacturing facility may have been contaminated with the bacteria. The company noted that a voluntary recall was initiated to “retrieve the potentially affected product,” even though the finished product testing hasn’t revealed any contaminated products.
