THREE GOAT’S CHEESE products sold in Supervalu have been recalled by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) due to the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes.

The food safety chief has warned consumers not to eat SuperValu Goat’s Cheese 110g, SuperValu Chevre Log in various sizes and Freshly Prepared by Our Cheesemongers Goat’s Cheese in various sizes.

The FSAI have said there is no evidence that this food recall is linked with the listeriosis outbreak related to ready-to-heat meals or the recall of spinach and mixed leaves products.

The full list of the dates of the affected products is available on the FSAI website.

The products impacted include:

• SuperValu Goat’s Cheese, 110g, with use by dates between 07/08/2025 and 12/08/2025
• Freshly Prepared by Our Cheesemongers Goats Cheese, pack sizes vary, with use by dates between 11/08/2025 and 12/08/2025
• SuperValu Chevre Log, pack sizes vary, all use by dates up to and including 12/08/2025.

Recall notices for the relevant products will be displayed at point-of-sale and retailers are requested to remove the implicated batches from sale.

The full list of the dates of the affected products is available on the FSAI website.

A large number of food items were recalled between late July and August due to the possible presence of the harmful bacteria Listeria monocytogenes.

Last month, 142 different ready-made meals and side dishes sold in major supermarkets across Ireland, which are made and distributed by Dublin-based Ballymaguire Foods, were recalled due to the possible presence of the bacteria.

Most recently, a specific batch of 150g packets of Tom & Ollie Traditional Hummus products was been recalled.

Listeriosis is an infection caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes.

The pathogenic bacteria, according to the FSAI, can cause diarrhoea, fever, headache and muscle pain.

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.

These individuals are advised to avoid higher risk foods and ensure that they cook ready-to-heat meals thoroughly until piping hot, and in line with manufacturer’s instructions.

If you have eaten any recalled foods and you feel unwell, seek medical advice. If you feel well, you don’t need to do anything.

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

Consumers are advised not to eat recalled products.

The FSAI has advised consumers to dispose of them, or return them to the store where they purchased them, as directed by the retailer.
