Savencia Cheese Recall Expands to Include Aldi, Market Basket

Savencia Cheese USA has voluntarily recalled several soft cheeses, predominantly Brie, across 12 states due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination, although no illnesses have been reported. The recall affects products sold at retailers such as Aldi and Market Basket, with a best by date of December 24, 2024, and involves cheese brands including Alouette and Chavrie. The contamination was detected during routine equipment testing at the company's Lena, Illinois facility, prompting retailers to remove affected products from shelves. Consumers are advised to return recalled products for a full refund and can contact Savencia's Consumer Relations for further assistance. Separately, My Chai Inc. recalled a chai tea product due to pH level concerns, and HH Fresh Trading Corp recalled Taiwan Enoki mushrooms due to potential Listeria contamination. These recalls highlight ongoing food safety challenges as Listeria infections can be particularly severe for vulnerable populations, including pregnant women and the elderly.
