Multiple soft cheese brands sold across Coles, Woolies recalled over listeria fears
Multiple cheese brands sold across major Aussie supermarkets have been urgently recalled over a potentially crippling bacteria infection. The Australian food regulator on Friday issued multiple recalls for soft cheeses sold across the country, including Mon Ami and Emborg, specially selected French L'ovale Cheese, Emporium Selected French Brie and Buche Belle du Bocage sold by the companies K-SEIN and Washed Rind. Seven different types of cheese should not be eaten because of a possible listeria contamination. The affected types sold by Mon Ami include 200g brie, 200g camembert, 125g petit camembert, 300g double cream le fromager, and 125g double cream French brie. People also need to throw out Emborg's French 200g brie and 200g camembert over the same concerns. A spokeswoman for Mon Ami and Emborg said the safety notice was part of an international recall. 'There have been no reports of contamination or illness in Australia,' the spokeswoman said. The recall affects all of these cheeses with date markings up to and including October 1, 2025. 'Global Foods Group are conducting a recall of the above products,' the Food Standards alert says. 'Consumers should not eat this product.' 'The products have been available for sale in Woolworths, Coles, IGA and other independent grocery stores nationally and online.' Consumers can return the cheese to the place they bought it for a full refund. Global Foods is concerned about a possible listeria contamination of the cheeses. Listeria infection symptoms can start as a fever, headache, diarrhoea or vomiting. In particularly vulnerable people such as the elderly or immunocompromised, these symptoms can develop into life-threatening complications. Pregnant women are 10-times more likely than a regular adult to get a Listeria infection, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says. An infection can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, or preterm labour. Specially Selected French L'ovale 300g and Emporium Selection 125g cheeses are sold at ALDI stores across all Australian states and territories, with the same October date codes. The Buche Belle du Bocage sold by Washed Rind Pty Ltd is available for sale at independent retailers in NSW, Victoria, South Australia and WA – in addition to the Boccacio Supa IGA in Victoria, Ainslie IGA in the ACT and Thirroul IGA in NSW. They bear the dates of July 15, August 14 and August 15.
