Health officials have urged the public not to eat a semi soft cheese due to the risk of them being contaminated with listeria. The Food Standards Agency and UK Health Security Agency have issued a warning not to eat Baronet semi soft cheese, which have been recalled because they are contaminated with listeria.
The type of cheese being recalled is Baronet, which is a pasteurised semi soft cheese with a pinkish orange rind and a pungent smell.
It is often bought in small individual rounds and as 1kg wheels which may be cut down to order. Consumers have been advised to contact the retailer they bought their cheese from to find out if the Baronet cheese they have purchased is from the businesses and batches affected and in the meantime to not eat the product.
