The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued an urgent warning to people about consuming Baronet semi-soft cheeses which have been recalled - after a listeria outbreak has led to one person dying in the UK.
The FSA yesterday, as well as the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) noted that there are 'exceptionally high levels' of the bacteria in some of the products.
It comes after an alert which came from the FSA on Monday, notifying consumers that The Old Cheese Room - a manufacturer in Wiltshire - was extending a recall on Baronet, Baby Baronet and Mini Baronet Soft Cheeses through listeria monocytogenes being discovered in some batches.
