Check your cheese drawer, Wegmans shoppers.
Popular grocery store chain Wegmans is recalling cheese sold in nine states as well as Washington, D.C., the FDA announced this week.
The chain is pulling its Wegmans Medium Camembert Soft Ripened Cheese and three prepared items that contain the cheese from stores’ shelves because they could be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes, according to the recall notice.
What caused the cheese recall?
The cheese was supplied to Wegmans by Cumming, Georgia-based Estancia Holdings, which initiated the recall after the company’s French supplier notified it that three shipments were potentially contaminated with listeria.
At this time, no illnesses from the cheese have been reported to Wegmans or Estancia, but listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections. Young children, frail or elderly people, those with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women are most at risk, per the FDA, though anyone can be affected with symptoms like fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, stomach pain and diarrhea.
What stores sold the Camembert cheese?
The cheese was sold at all Wegmans stores located in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and in D.C.
How do I know if I have the recalled cheese?
The cheese was sold at Wegmans stores between July 1 and August 12. Wegmans says people who bought the products using the store’s Shoppers Club membership will get automated phone calls about the recall. Here are the specific items and what you should look for on the labels:
