Identifying the Recalled Cheese

To see if your Brie is part of the recall, look for a “best by” date of Dec. 24, 2024, and compare the UPC code listed by the FDA. Affected brands include Emporium Selection Brie, Supreme Oval 7 oz., La Bonne Vie Brie and Camembert, 12/8 oz. Industrial Brie, and Market Basket Brie 6/8oz.

How to Stay Safe Amid the Recall

If you have any of the recalled Brie in your fridge, don’t eat it—bring it back to the store for a refund. If you’ve eaten it and start feeling sick, let your healthcare provider know right away. To keep updated, you can contact Savencia’s customer service or check the FDA website for the latest recall information.

What Exactly Is Listeria, and Who’s at Risk?

Listeria infection is manageable for most people but can be dangerous for young kids, elderly people, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems. 


Symptoms can be flu-like and may not show up for days or even weeks, which is why the FDA takes listeria contamination seriously. 


In severe cases, listeria can cause pregnancy complications or serious health issues in newborns.
