Supermarkets recall cheese from shelves which poses serious risk to over 65s

A cheese recall has been issued for Dunnes Stores Velvety & Mild French Brie, distributed by Traditional Cheese Company, due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The Food Standards Agency warns that Listeria can cause flu-like symptoms and, in vulnerable groups such as those over 65, more severe illnesses including meningitis. Retailers will display notices and offer full refunds to customers who bought the product. The recall illustrates how withdrawals and recalls are communicated through Recall Information Notices and occasionally Food Alerts for Action, ensuring local authorities and consumers are informed and can act quickly to protect public health.
