Meanwhile,
Massive reminder more than 40:
Since this Saturday. Moreover, August 9, many cheeses sold both at Lidl, Carrefour, U, Auchan, or Leclerc have been recalled due to a suspicion of Listeria contamination. Nevertheless, All come from the same factory located in the Creuse. Furthermore, She had already been questioned in June.
Brie, goat, Camembert, Coulommiers … Consequently, The list of types of cheeses recalled at the moment for a suspicion of Listeria contamination is long. In addition, That of the distributors concerned by these reminders is almost as much: Lidl, Carrefour, Auchan, Leclerc, U …
All these brands have at least one of their products concerned by this massive reminder. Consequently, started this Saturday, August 9 with those from Lidl and U. Moreover, In the space of a few days it has gained considerable scale: more than 40 references are recalled.
The “goat cheese log” of the silver oak brand sold at massive reminder more than 40 Lidl is found. Meanwhile, pell-mell; The Camembert of the Marqie Saveurs of yesteryear sold at Auchan; The Coulommiers of the Le Berger brand sold at Carrefour … For example, The full list of products concerned is available on the CONSO REMINDER website.
All cheeses from a factory already implicated – Massive reminder more than 40
Although all of different brands. Consequently, these cheeses have in common that they have been produced by a single factory: the Chaverand cheese dairy, located at the house-feyne in the Creuse.
But what questions and unwinding the Foodwatch consumer NGO is that this contamination would go back much earlier. Moreover, It indicates in a press release released this Tuesday, August 12, that “bacteriological contamination seemed present since at least April 2025”.
Foodwatch is as proof of the fact that two recalled products had already been several months ago. Similarly, for the same reason. This is the case with the “double simple cream” sold massive reminder more than 40 by Carrefour. which was recalled for the first time on June 13 before being again this Tuesday. But also the “double” of the silver oak brand, recalled for the first time by Lidl on June 16. And a second time this Saturday, August 9.
These two products had been marketed from the beginning of May, which suggests that they were produced in April. And that initial contamination dates back to this time.
For Camille Dioz, campaign director of Foodwatch joined by RMC Conso, there have been failures at all levels.
“The Chaverand cheese dairy was alerted for the first time three months ago. One wonders what she did for all this time. She should have removed the risk of contamination within her factory. We can also wonder about the follow-up that the State made of this business throughout this period,” he said.
The Chavegrand cheese factory refuses to communicate
He also massive reminder more than 40 regrets the time that the information of this contamination is. put back to the consumer. Often between the end of marketing of a product. the publication of the recall on consumption recall are spent for several days. “This time is sufficient for the buyer to have already consumed the product”.
This is the case, for example, of a brie of the Mariotte brand, marketed at Auchan, Carrefour, Intermarché … His recall is only published this Tuesday, August 12, when he ceased to be sold on Friday August 8.
Recall that the listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria, agent responsible for listeriosis. It is characterized in its most common form by symptoms such as aches and fever, isolated or accompanied by headache. But it can be more serious in more malignant forms. Listeriosis is thus the second cause of mortality by food poisoning with, in France, some dozen deaths per year.
Faced with the magnitude massive reminder more than 40 of this recall, one may wonder what may be the origin of such contamination. Suffice to say that the answer is difficult to obtain. RMC Conso has tried to reach the Chavegrand cheese dairy to obtain more information on what could have caused it. But turned to a refusal to communicate.
Should the cheese dairy had to stop?
For Camille Dioz. the fact that the recall takes such a magnitude shows that we are not on an isolated problem.
“It is not just an employee who would have forgotten to wash his hands and possibly contaminate a few products. This is either a problem coming from a raw material used. Or it is inside the factory: a pipe or a tank could have been badly cleaned for example,” he imagines.
According to him. when a company faces a first alert as was the case in June here, it should completely massive reminder more than 40 interrupt to identify and effectively solve the problem. And be as transparent as possible with its customers that are distributors, and consumers of course.
“But stop producing is always hard, and often they take the bet to continue. Before being caught up by the extent of the problem. ” he explains, taking the examples of the contaminated Buitoni pizzas at the E.Coli bacteria or Kinder with salmonella chocolates in 2022.
In these two cases, the health consequences were terrible with several dead. But also those economic: the Ferrero factory in Arlon in Belgium had been closed for several weeks. And that of Buitoni de Caudry in the north definitively. Losing their jobs to more than 100 employees, “paying the irresponsibility of their management,” said Camille Dorioz de Foodwatch.
