A serious health alert has led to the recall of multiple Reblochon cheeses from supermarket shelves. The official Rappel Conso site lists these products following a brucellosis case in a cow—a rare but highly contagious disease for humans in France. Available at various retailers, authorities advise destroying them or seeking a store refund. As tartiflette season ramps up, vigilance is key.
What Is Brucellosis, and What Should You Do If You've Eaten Recalled Reblochon?
Though uncommon, brucellosis demands prompt treatment. Rappel Conso reports an incubation period of one week to one month. Acute symptoms are nonspecific, often resembling isolated fever or flu-like illness. With COVID-19 circulating, monitor symptoms carefully. Health experts note rarer risks like testicular, neurological, or joint complications. Thorough cooking reduces contamination risk, but consult your doctor if you've consumed any recalled cheese.
