What was recalled?
This recall covers Mon Sire Brie, soft-ripened French cheese, 1 kg, with approximately 22 cases (44 units) affected. The company behind the recall is Optimus Inc. d/b/a/ Markys Caviar, based in Miami Gardens, FL.

Why was Mon Sire Brie, soft-ripened French cheese, 1 kg recalled?
According to the FDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “The firm was notified by their Brie Cheese supplier that sample results revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes.” In plain terms, this recall relates to Listeria.
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can grow even at refrigerator temperatures, which makes it a particular concern in ready-to-eat foods. Health authorities warn that it can cause a serious infection called listeriosis, and that pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable. This is why products potentially contaminated with Listeria are often recalled quickly.

If you think you may have bought Mon Sire Brie, soft-ripened French cheese, 1 kg, compare it against the product description and identifying codes (LOT 00000ZRAA1 EXP 08/15/2026 LOT 00000ZUAD2 EXP 08/18/2026) before using it. This recall is currently listed as ongoing.
