Why are these cheeses recalled?
The two recalls were issued after the presence/detection of E. coli STEC O26 was identified. Shiga toxin–producing E. coli can cause diarrhea (sometimes bloody), abdominal pain, and vomiting, possibly with fever. Severe kidney complications (HUS) can occur in 5–8% of cases, particularly in children. Rappel Consommateur
What to do if you bought these Reblochons
- Do not consume the cheese — even cooked preparations are not recommended when a recall instructs non-consumption. Follow the official guidance. Rappel Consommateur
- Return it to the point of purchase or destroy it as indicated; a refund is offered. Rappel Consommateur
- Monitor your health for a week after any potential consumption: watch for bloody diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting, and fever. Seek medical advice promptly and mention the product, purchase place and date. If no symptoms occur within 15 days, it is not necessary to consult, per official guidance. Rappel Consommateur

Can I still eat Reblochon if it’s not from these lots?
