Multiple lots of cheeses sold at Lidl and U in France have been recalled due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause listeriosis.

Affected products from Lidl include various cheeses such as 'Camembert 250 g', 'Coulommiers 350 g', and 'Petit des champs 200 g', with use-by dates ranging from August 12 to 20, 2025.

Particular caution is advised for pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals, and the elderly, as they are especially vulnerable to listeriosis, which can lead to severe complications.

Consumers are urged to stop eating the recalled cheeses and dispose of them, as symptoms of listeriosis include fever, headaches, and muscle aches.

The cheese sold by U, identified as 'Fromage pasteurisé Le Carré 23 % MG U 230 g', has expiration dates between July 16 and August 17, 2025, and can be recognized by its barcode 3256224310204.

Individuals who experience symptoms after consuming these products should consult a doctor for further evaluation.

Refunds for the Lidl cheeses will be available until October 10, 2025, while refunds for the U cheese can be claimed until August 31, 2025.

Customers can contact Lidl at 08 00 00 91 80 and U at 09 69 36 69 36 for further information or to process refunds.
