More than two dozen brand names of brie and camembert products have been recalled due to a potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination, which has left several consumers hospitalized, per an issue from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
On September 30, Old Europe Cheese, Inc., a cheese manufacturer based in Benton Harbor, Michigan, voluntarily recalled its brie and camembert cheeses.

Additional stores that carried the cheeses include Albertsons, Meijer, Harding's, Shaw's, Price Chopper, Market Basket, Raley's, Save Mart, Stop & Shop, Fresh Thyme and Athenian Foods.
