An urgent recall has been issued by a dairy company for a variety of its goat cheeses. Lactalis UK & Ireland have warned customers not to eat its Cricket St Thomas Capricorn Goat Cheese, Somerset Capricorn Goat Cheese, and Co-op Goats Cheese after a potential listeria contamination.
Customers should instead return the products to supermarkets. Whilst the contamination has not been confirmed and the health risk to the public remains low, there remains a small risk of infection reports The Daily Mirror.
A Lactalis statement read: "As consumer safety is our top priority, we are recalling one batch of the products mentioned above as a precautionary measure due to a small risk that these products may contain listeria. Listeria infection in healthy people is usually either unnoticed or may cause very mild illness.
