Horgan’s Delicatessen Supplies recalls SPAR Chèvre Goats Cheese because of possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes
Why it was recalled
Horgan's Delicatessen Supplies is recalling SPAR Chèvre Goats Cheese because it may contain Listeria monocytogenes. Soft cheeses like chèvre are among the foods most prone to carrying listeria, which is why they appear so often in recalls and in advice to pregnant women.
Listeriosis usually causes flu-like symptoms, but for over-65s, pregnant women and their unborn babies, newborns and people with weakened immune systems it can become severe, including meningitis.
