Recall issued for cheese due to possible presence of listeria

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has confirmed the recall of various batches of Brie Mariotte due to the possible presence of listeria monocytogenes.

The implicated products are Brie Mariotte with a pack size of 1kg, all best before dates up to August 30, 2025; and Brie Mariotte of all pack sizes, for all batches and use-by dates sold between June 8, 2025 and August 13, 2025.

France is the products' country of origin.

Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale, the FSAI said.

Wholesalers/distributors are requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batches and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retailer customers.  

Caterers should not use the implicated batches. 

Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.

The authority noted that there is currently no evidence that this food recall is linked with the listeriosis outbreak related to ready-to-heat meals or the recall of spinach and mixed leaves products.

The FSAI said that symptoms of listeria monocytogenes infection can include mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.

In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications.

Some people are more vulnerable to listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly.

The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average three weeks, but can range between three and 70 days.
