Aldi and Market Basket Issue Cheese Recall Due to Potential Listeria Contamination

Aldi and Market Basket have issued a voluntary recall of certain cheeses due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. This dangerous bacteria can cause serious, even fatal, infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems.

The recall specifically affects the following cheese products:

• Private Selection Fresh Mozzarella Balls: All varieties with "Best By" dates of July 14, 2023, and July 15, 2023.
• Market Basket Fresh Mozzarella Balls: All varieties with "Best By" dates of July 14, 2023, and July 15, 2023.

Symptoms of Listeriosis

Listeriosis can cause a range of symptoms, including:

• Fever
• Muscle aches
• Headache
• Stiff neck
• Confusion
• Loss of balance
• Convulsions
• Diarrhea

What to Do If You Purchased the Recalled Cheese

If you have purchased any of the cheeses included in the recall, do not consume them. Instead, immediately return them to the store where you bought them for a full refund.

How to Prevent Listeriosis

While this recall is specifically targeting certain cheese products, it's important to follow these general food safety tips to reduce your risk of Listeriosis:

• Thoroughly cook all meats and poultry.
• Wash fruits and vegetables before eating them.
• Keep raw meat and poultry separate from other foods.
• Refrigerate perishable foods promptly.
• Use clean utensils and surfaces when preparing food.
• Avoid eating soft cheeses made with unpasteurized milk.

Important Information for Consumers

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently investigating the source of the potential contamination. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Aldi's customer service line at 1-800-633-0100 or Market Basket's customer service line at 1-800-522-7538.

It's crucial to stay informed about food recalls and follow all safety guidelines to protect yourself and your family.
