The week before Christmas, Jindi Cheese recalled its Jindi and Wattle Valley Brie and Camembert cheese varieties amid fears they may be contaminated with listeria.
The recall applies to all independent supermarkets and delicatessens in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland who stock the following products:
- Jindi Brie – 1kg
- Jindi Camenbert – 1kg
- Jindi Food Service Brie – 1kg
- Wattle Valley Brie – 1kg
- Wattle Valley Camenbert – 1kg
Food Standards Australia and New Zealand advised that those who have already purchased any or all of these products refrain from eating them and return them to the place in which they purchased them from for a full refund.
Pregnant women and their unborn babies, elderly people and those with low immune systems are more susceptible to falling ill following the consumption of cheese products contaminated with listeria, so it is encouraged that they be particularly weary.
