Several different Brie cheeses sold at Aldi were memory over potential listeria concerns, US health officials said.

Savencia USA cheese announced a voluntary recall on Saturday in respect of six different types of soft ripened cheeses manufactured at the company’s facility in Lena, Illinois. Brand names include “Aldi, La Bonne Vie and others,” an announcement said.

A separate announcement from the US Food and Drug Administration said routine tests identified that processing equipment at the site may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes – which can cause a bacterial foodborne illness.

Listeria infection can be deadly for older Americans, pregnant women and consumers with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis patients may experience symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, headache, confusion, loss of balance, and seizures sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.
