Which products are included in the Lactalis Gorgonzola recall?

The recall covers 200 g Gorgonzola sold under private labels at Aldi, Netto, and Kaufland, marked best-before 21 February 2026. The advice is do not consume and return the pack for a refund. Check the label carefully, since different countries and batches may have separate sourcing.

Is the Listeria cheese recall relevant for shoppers in Switzerland?

Yes, if you shop in Germany or bought the affected 200 g pack across the border. The action centers on German retail. Aldi Suisse sourcing may differ, so always check packaging and dates. If the label matches the recall details, avoid consumption and request a refund from the store.

What should I do if I already ate the recalled cheese?

Monitor for symptoms such as fever, stomach upset, or flu-like signs, and contact a healthcare provider if unwell. Mention possible Listeria exposure and the best-before date. Keep any remaining product and receipt. Return unopened packs for a refund. Follow retailer updates for any expanded guidance.

How can this recall affect food retail and dairy stocks?

Short term, recalls add write-offs, logistics costs, and refunds. If communication is clear and restocking is quick, the impact is usually contained. Repeated issues can raise testing costs and hurt brand trust, pressuring margins. Investors should track disclosure quality, incident frequency, and any widening of the recall scope.
