Attention, recall: Bergader recalls the cheese “Bavaria Blu – the spicy”. Listeria were found. Under no circumstances should consumers consume the product.

Hamm – On its website, Bergader Privatkäserei GmbH writes about its soft cheese “Bavaria blu” that the best alpine milk is processed from a region where many people like to vacation. Enjoying the cheese is said to evoke images of an idyllic Bavarian Alpine panorama. But consumers cannot go on this culinary excursion without any worries at the moment: Bergader has now announced a recall. The “Bavaria blu” variety “Der Würzige” in the 300g pack is affected.

Nationwide recall: Listeria found in “Bavaria blu” soft cheese

The company reports that listeria was detected in a sample during an internal check. This could not be confirmed when checking the end product. Nevertheless, contamination with Listeria cannot be ruled out.

Bergader warns customers against consuming the product “Bavaria blu Der Würzige” in the 300g pack. The cheese was sold throughout Germany and in Austria. The exact designation of the affected product:

Bavaria blu The spicy one 65%

  • Sales unit: 300g
  • Best before date: 08/29/2022
  • Batch: 0140 or 0102
  • EAN: 4006402020550

Anyone who has bought one of these cheese items can return the product to the grocery store and receive a refund of the purchase price. It is not necessary to present a receipt.

Recall of “Bavaria blu” soft cheese: what is listeria?

There are good reasons why consumers are urgently advised against consuming the affected “Bavaria blu” soft cheese. Listeria can cause nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. After an incubation period of up to three weeks, symptoms resembling those of a flu-like effect can even appear.

This means that there is a health risk, especially for pregnant women, small children and those with a weakened immune system. If you have already consumed the product and notice symptoms, you should contact a doctor.

There was also a recall at Lidl. Here is a warning about plastic in a cheese. However, it is not always food that consumers are warned about. Sometimes it is also software that is better left unused. Most of the weather apps for smartphones failed in a recent test.
