UK – Update 1: The Old Cheese Room extends recalls of Baronet, Baby Baronet and Mini Baronet Soft Cheese because of the presence of Listeria monocytogenes

The presence of Listeria monocytogenes in some batches of the products listed above.

Symptoms caused by this organism can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea. However, in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications, such as meningitis.

Some people are more vulnerable to listeria infections, including those over 65 years of age, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies less than one month old and people with weakened immune systems.

The Old Cheese Room is recalling the above products. Point of sale notices will be displayed where the products were sold. These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products. Please see the attached notice.
