Which products are included in the Aldi cheese recall?

The notice covers 200g Gorgonzola from Lactalis Deutschland in Dolce and Piccante varieties with best-before 21/02/2026. Items were sold since January 9 at Aldi, Kaufland and Netto in select German regions. Do not consume the cheese. Return it to the store for a refund.

Are Swiss stores affected by the Gorgonzola recall?

The recall notices refer to select German regions and retailers. They do not cite sales in Switzerland. Swiss consumers who purchased in Germany should follow the recall instructions. If you bought similar cheese in Switzerland, check local retailer notices or federal alerts before taking action.

What are the health risks linked to Lactalis Listeria findings?

Listeria infection can cause fever, vomiting and diarrhea. It can be severe for pregnant women, older adults and people with weak immunity. Symptoms may start days to weeks after exposure. Anyone who ate the affected cheese and feels unwell should seek medical advice and mention possible Listeria exposure.

How could the Aldi product warning affect Swiss-listed stocks?

Short term, sentiment toward European consumer staples may soften as retailers and dairies revisit quality controls. Companies can face higher testing, logistics and audit costs, plus brief sales friction. If the scope stays limited, impacts tend to fade. Broader or repeated recalls could widen margin pressure and risk premia.
