There is no season to enjoy a good cheese. Also, if you are used to buying this dairy product in the Leclerc Saint-Brévin-les-Pins store, you may be affected by this recall. The campaign was notably launched following the publication of the official government website, Rappel Conso. According to the latter, the recalled product contains traces of listeria monocytogenes.
The dairy product in question is Saint-Nectaire farmer’s milk cheese, present in the traditional dairy department of the store. More specifically, it is lot 163IINI2524/06 which was marketed from August 09, 2022.
The steps to follow
If you are affected by the product recall, make sure you no longer consume the product and bring it back to the point of sale. You can also call consumer service on 0240391740. In both cases, you will be reimbursed. Note that the recall campaign ends on October 16, 2022. Therefore, remember to return the product before this date to be compensated.
If you have eaten the recalled cheese, you should be aware of certain symptoms. Fever, body aches and headaches are the most obvious. Also, if you have any of these signs, consult your doctor, mentioning the consumption. In addition, more serious forms can occur in pregnant women and the elderly.
