CFIA recalls Auricchio Taleggio D.O.P. cheese in Ontario and Quebec over possible Listeria contamination
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a food recall warning for Auricchio brand Taleggio D.O.P. cheese sold in Ontario and Quebec because of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
The warning matters because Listeria can cause serious illness, and the CFIA notes that pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk.
The recalled product is Auricchio Taleggio D.O.P. Cheese, sold in a 200 g package with UPC 8 004603 104099 and code L 2524600 (Best Before: 28/04/2026).
The CFIA advises people not to consume, use, sell, serve or distribute the recalled product. The agency says recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.
No illnesses have been reported in connection with the product, according to the CFIA.
Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still make people sick. Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness.
The CFIA says infected pregnant women may experience mild, flu-like symptoms, but the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or stillbirth. In severe cases, the illness can be fatal.
The recall was triggered by the company. The recalling firm is Les Ventes JVS.
The CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation that may lead to the recall of other products, and it is verifying that industry is removing recalled products from the marketplace.
The recall is classified as Class 1 and is listed under identification number RA-81894. The notice was last updated April 15, 2026.
