Health officials have issued a warning after two people fell sick with Listeriosis following consumption of soft cheese from Austria.

The Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES) said no confirmed cases have yet been reported in Austria. One person in Germany and one person in the Czech Republic fell ill with listeriosis after eating cheese from a Tyrolean manufacturer.

The Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection (BMSGPK) asked AGES to investigate the Listeria outbreak.

Wilder Käser has initiated a recall of products and informed the public.
