The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a recall for Jean Perrin’s Morbier de Scey and Raclette de Scey cheeses due to possible contamination with pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli). The affected products have been distributed across Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec, and possibly other provinces and territories.

Recalled Products:

Reason for Recall:

The recall has been issued due to the potential presence of pathogenic E. coli. Consumption of contaminated food can cause serious health issues, including severe abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea. In extreme cases, complications such as kidney failure, seizures, or strokes may occur, potentially leading to long-term health effects or death.

What Consumers Should Do:

• Do not consume, use, sell, or distribute the recalled products.
• Check your refrigerators for the recalled cheeses, even if they are in smaller repackaged portions.
• If you have the recalled product, dispose of it immediately or return it to the store where it was purchased.
• If you have consumed the recalled product and feel unwell, seek medical attention immediately.

Additional Information:

These cheeses may have been repackaged and sold without the original branding or labeling at various retailers, making it difficult to identify the affected batches. Consumers who are unsure if they have purchased the recalled products should contact their retailer for verification.

The CFIA is conducting an investigation, and additional recalls may follow. Stay updated through official government recall notices.

For more information, visit the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) website or contact the retailer where you purchased the product.
