The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has confirmed that there have been further recalls issued for goat's cheese products due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes.

Yesterday (Monday, August 11), the FSAI confirmed a recall of a batch of goat's cheese due to the possible presence of Listeria.

That recall was for a batch of 100g packs of Spar Chèvre Goats Cheese with a use-by date of August 12, 2025.

In a further notification today (Tuesday, August 12), the authority said that three further goat's cheese product batches are being recalled due to the possible presence of Listeria.

The country of origin for the products concerned is listed as France. Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.

The FSAI highlighted that there is no evidence currently that any of these recalls are related to the outbreak of listeriosis in late July.

In the latest food alert issued by the FSAI, the implicated batches are:

SuperValu Goat's Cheese (110g pack size) with use-by dates of August 7, 2025 and August 12, 2025;
Freshly Prepared by Our Cheesemongers Goats Cheese (pack sizes vary) with use-by dates of August 11, 2025, and August 12, 2025;
SuperValu Chevre Log (pack sizes vary), relating to all use-by dates up to and including August 12, 2025.

Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.

Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batches.

Symptoms of Listeria monocytogenes infection can include mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications.

Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly.

The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average three weeks but can range between three and 70 days.
