Cheese Sold At Madison Whole Foods Recalled

MADISON, NJ — The Madison Whole Foods is recalling one type of cheese over concerns it could be contaminated with listeria, the the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.

Explorateur French Triple Crème cheese has been taken off the shelves at both the Madison and the Montclair locations. The cheese has PLU numbers starting with 0294317, officials said. All of the cheeses have a sell-by date between 02/15/2018 and 04/03/2018.

Whole Foods says they were notified of the possible contamination by a distributor. So far, no illnesses have been reported, the company said.

Listeria can be fatal in young, elderly or frail people. In otherwise healthy people, it can cause short-term symptoms such as fevers, headaches and nausea.

Customers who bought the affected cheese can get a full refund with a valid receipt.
