Following the recall of the Crottin de Chavignol goats' cheese from Delhaize stores in Luxembourg, Cactus has recalled the same product due to the presence of pathogenic E. coli bacteria.
The Commission's rapid alert system has informed the Luxembourg food safety authorities that the recall of Crottin de Chavignol goats' cheese has been extended to Cactus stores. The product in question is: Crottin de Chavignol (brand: Société L.H.T / Laiterie Triballat), 60g with the lot number L 033 09 and EAN Code 3184670010525. The product in question has an expiry date of 5 April 2019. Only the product with the specified expiry date and lot number is affected.
Whilst the product has since been withdrawn from sale, it was distributed in Cactus stores across Luxembourg. A wider distribution of the product beyond Delhaize and Cactus stores cannot be excluded at the moment.
The Luxembourg Food Safety Authorities have advised consumers to no longer eat this product. People who have consumed the above mentioned products and who present symptoms of illness are invited to consult without delay their doctor by notifying him this consumption and the nature of the contaminating germ.
