The Food Standards Agency issue an alert following the recall, which Golden Cross told just-food was picked up as part of the company’s routine testing.
Listeria is a bacterium that can cause food poisoning. The company has undertaken a product recall and will be displaying point-of-sale notices in stores that sell the cheese to explain why the product has been recalled.
“There have been no illnesses reported and it is a very low level of contamination that was found,” said a spokesperson for Golden Cross. “We have been producing cheese for 16 years and this is the first time it has happened.”
Anyone who has bought the cheese, which has a “used by” date of 18 April, are being urged to return it to the store for a refund.
