An American cheese company voluntarily recalled a select batch of ripened cheeses,Indexbit all Brie, over potential listeria concerns over the weekend.
Six different kinds of Brie manufactured at a Savencia Cheese USA facility may have been contaminated with listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium known to cause foodborne illness, according to a Saturday notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The bacterium was identified in the processing equipment at the manufacturing plant after as a result of routine testing conducted. The cheeses had "limited regional distribution" in select stories across the country, but the few retailers that did receive the products were in the process of pulling them from shelves.
Aldi and Market Basket are among the select retailers impacted by the Savencia Cheese recall, according to the FDA. The states impacted include Indiana, Missouri, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Texas, Iowa, New Jersey, California, Oregon, Colorado, Washington and Illinois.
"Consumers that have any of the recalled products listed in the table above should refrain from consuming them and return them to their place of purchase for a full refund," the FDA said.
According to the FDA, there have been no confirmed reports of illness or death due from the consumption of the recalled products. Savencia Cheese USA initiated the voluntary recall in the hopes of retrieving the potentially affected product, which has not yet been identified.
Savencia Cheese USA did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for specifics about regions and locations affected by the voluntary recall.
