If you purchased Mont d’or from Les Jarrons cheese dairy in Ville-du-Pontit is advisable to do not eat it and return it to the store. Several batches are subject to product recall launched on Thursday, November 21available on the Consumer Reminder websitedue to a risk of presence of bacteria named Yersinia enterocolitica. This one can cause acute gastroenteritiswith fever, diarrhea and stomach aches, which appear within a week of consumption.
Dietary surveys on cases of diarrhea have established a link with this fruit grower in Haut-Doubs, who was alerted on November 15. Samples showed the presence of this bacteria on two batches of cheese and on a filter. In the meantime, the manufacturing workshop had suspended production as a precautionary measure and requested the blocking of distribution, as well as the recall of the products. In total, around thirty batches were recalledand the most recent cheeses, which had not yet left the workshop, were destroyed.
A very common bacteria, but not in cheese
“This very common bacteria is not looked for on cheeses” according to Eric Février, president of the Mont d’or interprofessional defense union. “It is not part of the protocol because history shows that it is not present in cheeses.” From, manufacturing has resumed in the fruit farm with a reinforced protocolwhich allows you to search for this bacteria. Now, the industry is trying to understand why this bacteria was found in these cheeses.
If you experience symptoms, consult a doctor
The Rappel Conso site invites people who would present symptoms after consuming these cheeses to consult a doctor. But if there are no symptoms within two weeks after consumption, there is no need to worry and consult a doctor.
