Further recalls issued for goat's cheese due to possible listeria
Yesterday (Monday, August 11), the FSAI confirmed a recall of a batch of goat's cheese due to the possible presence of Listeria.
That recall was for a batch of 100g packs of Spar Chèvre Goats Cheese with a use-by date of August 12, 2025.
In a further notification today (Tuesday, August 12), the authority said that three further goat's cheese product batches are being recalled due to the possible presence of Listeria.
The country of origin for the products concerned is listed as France. Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.
The FSAI highlighted that there is no evidence currently that any of these recalls are related to the outbreak of listeriosis in late July.
In the latest food alert issued by the FSAI, the implicated batches are:
SuperValu Goat's Cheese (110g pack size) with use-by dates of August 7, 2025 and August 12, 2025;
Freshly Prepared by Our Cheesemongers Goats Cheese (pack sizes vary) with use-by dates of August 11, 2025, and August 12, 2025;
SuperValu Chevre Log (pack sizes vary), relating to all use-by dates up to and including August 12, 2025.
Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.
Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.
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.

Advertisement 4 A batch of goats cheese sold in Spar is among those recalled Credit: 4 A batch of Mallon's Light Six Pork Sausages have been recalled over the presence of Salmonella Credit: FSAI On Monday, the FSAI issued a recall notice for a batch of Mallons Light 6 Pork Sausages due to the presence of Salmonella.

The FSAI said: "The above batch of Mallons Light 6 Pork Sausages is being recalled due to the presence of Salmonella. "Although this product is past its use by date, it is suitable for home freezing. Advertisement "Consumers are advised to check their freezers for the implicated batch." Anyone who has the recalled batch at home has been urged "not to eat" any of the product. Dunnes Stores, Tesco and SuperValu are among the supermarkets that stock Mallons Sausages products - but all shops where the product was sold will be required to display recall notices at the tills.

In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications and can potentially be fatal. The 100g batch of Spar Chèvre Goats Cheese with use by date 12/08/2025 was recalled. Advertisement People were urged not to eat the product and retailers were requested to remove the implicated batch from sale. On Tuesday, the FSAI issued another recall notice for other brands of goats cheese over the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes.

Advertisement The FSAI said: "Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.

SYMPTOMS AND TREATING LISTERIOSIS For some, Listeriosis has few or no symptoms, or mild problems that only last a few days. The infection is most commonly flu-like, with symptoms including a runny nose, a high temperature, aches, pains, or chills. Advertisement In some cases, it can create gastronomical issues including nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea. It usually goes away by itself within a few days. Those infected are advised to stay home if possible and drink a lot of liquid. Those who are at a higher risk of serious illness might need to take antibiotic medication.
