Sainsbury’s recalls Camembert cheese products
Sainsbury’s is recalling a number of its Camembert cheese products with use by dates up to and including 6 March 2016 due to low levels of Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause foodborne illness, particularly among vulnerable groups – these are pregnant women, unborn and newborn babies, those over 60 years old and anyone with a weakened immune system.
The following products with use by dates up to and including 6 March 2016 are being recalled:
- Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference French Camembert Cheese, 250g
- Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Baking Camembert Cheese, 250g
- Sainsbury’s Camembert Pays, 250g
No other Sainsbury’s products are known to be affected.
Point-of-sale recall notices have been displayed in all stores across the UK. These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled, and tell them what actions to take if they have bought the products. A copy of the point-of-sale recall notice can be found here.
If you have bought one of the above products, do not eat it. Instead, return it to the nearest Sainsbury’s store for a full refund.
