If, like many French people, cheese is a staple of your meals, beware! Indeed, a contaminated cheese could have crept into your fridge: several of them have been the subject of voluntary recalls across the whole of France lately. Two different cheeses are involved: a Saint-Chabret and a Camembert. The latter is very well known, in France and around the world: renowned for its tough smell, it can be declined in a multitude of different ways.
Saint-Chabret, on the other hand, is less well known than its contaminated counterpart: indeed, only one dairy in France produces it, the Laiterie de la Voueize. Located in Gouzon, in the Creuse department, dairy workers collect milk for production within a radius of only 25 km, according to the cheese guide.
The two cheeses in question are recalled due to contamination with listeria, on the one hand, and toxigenic Escherichia coli shiga, better known as E. Coli, on the other hand. The latter is a bacterium naturally present in our intestinal flora. However, they come from other strains than those in question here. The E. Coli bacteria that have contaminated these cheeses can be the cause of more or less serious infections, especially intestinal. This is why it is important to identify the products affected by these recalls and eliminate them as soon as possible from your home. Here are the references to identify:
