FDA Reports Florida Recall of Mon Sire Brie Cheese Due to Listeria Contamination

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reported a recall of Mon Sire Brie, a soft-ripened French cheese, in Florida due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. Optimus Inc., operating as Markys Caviar, initiated the recall, which covers two lots of 1-kilogram cheeses distributed within Florida. The affected lots are 00000ZRAA1, expiring August 15, 2026, and 00000ZUAD2, expiring August 18, 2026.

While the expiration dates for the recalled Florida products have passed, there is still a concern for cheese remaining in home refrigerators or freezers. The FDA has not yet classified the hazard level for this specific recall, and no illnesses linked to the Florida product have been reported.
