The product “Gorgonzola piccante DOP” from Italy is withdrawn from the market. The reason is the discovery of the bacterium Listeria Monocytogenes in cheese which has been distributed to several countries, including Norway.
The product is sold on to all Coop stores, as well as restaurants and wholesalers.
Listeria can cause a particular risk of serious illness in pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems. Listeria can grow at low temperatures, and in foods with a long shelf life it can grow to a high number of bacteria. The bacterium survives freezing.
The importers state that consumers who have bought the product can return it to the store or throw it away.
