How to spot the right product quickly: Check the brand, lot number, DLC (use-by date), GTIN (barcode), and the oval health stamp (FR 74.145.050). If any of these match the details above, treat the cheese as affected by the recall.
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.
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.
- Return it to the point of purchase or destroy it as indicated; a refund is offered.
- 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.

Who is most at risk?
Children, older adults, immunocompromised individuals, and pregnant people are considered more vulnerable to STEC infections. As a general precaution, authorities remind consumers to avoid raw milk and cheeses made from raw milk in high‑risk groups and to practice strict food hygiene.
Can I still eat Reblochon if it’s not from these lots?
Yes—this recall targets specific lots and brands listed above. If your cheese does not match the brand, lot, DLC, GTIN, or health stamp, it is not part of today’s recall. When in doubt, check the official RappelConso database and your store’s customer service desk.
