Israeli company recalls batch of cheese due to risk of Listeria contamination
The Israeli company Gad Dairy has announced an emergency recall of one of its batches of Camembert cheese. The reason for this decision is a suspected presence of Listeria bacteria in the product, which can be dangerous to human health.
The recall concerns 33% fat Camembert cheese in 130-gram packaging. Customers should pay attention to the labeling: it concerns the batch with the number BFBN and an expiration date of September 7, 2026.
Company representatives strongly advise consumers who have already purchased this product not to consume it. Customers can return the package to the store where it was purchased to receive a refund.
Listeria is a dangerous bacterium that can cause serious food poisoning. People with weakened immune systems, the elderly, and pregnant women should be especially careful, as the infection poses the greatest threat to them.
At the moment, the company is conducting an audit of its production processes to determine the causes of the incident. Such precautionary measures are standard practice to protect consumer health in the event that quality standards are not met.
