Wegmans Cheese Recalled for Listeria Risk
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a recall of Wegmans branded cheeses sold in 10 states and Washington, D.C. The affected products include Wegmans Medium Camembert Soft Ripened Cheese 8.8-ounce with UPC 77890-53515 and best-by dates 7/26/25, 8/12/25 and 8/19/25; Wegmans Assorted Cheese Flight 1-pound with UPC 2-77100-00000-0; Wegmans Grilling Camembert with Tapenade & Roasted Tomatoes 10-ounce with UPC 2-77297-00000-0; and Wegmans Caramel Apple Pecan Topped Brie Cheese 13-ounce with UPC 2-77645-00000-3. These products were shipped from July 1 to August 12, 2025, and the cheese was supplied to Wegmans by Estancia Holdings of Cumming, Georgia, after their French supplier alerted them that three shipments could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall affects Wegmans stores in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, D.C. No illnesses have been reported, and Wegmans is offering a full refund for impacted items. If you have questions, call Wegmans Food Markets at 1-855-934-3663 (8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST).
Key Takeaways
"The cheese was supplied to Wegmans by Estancia Holdings of Cumming, Georgia, who initiated a recall after the company was notified by their French supplier that three shipments they received may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes"
Origin of the recall
"There are no illnesses connected to this recall"
No illnesses reported
"Listeria infection can be severe for those age 65 or older, immunocompromised, pregnant or young children"
Risk to vulnerable groups
The recall highlights how complex, global food supply chains can transfer risk quickly to retailers and shoppers. Even with no illnesses yet, the incident puts a spotlight on traceability and supplier oversight. It also shows the burden on retailers to communicate clearly and provide refunds promptly to maintain public trust. Beyond this case, expect ongoing pressure on the dairy category to strengthen testing and supplier audits as regulators push for tighter safety nets.
Highlights
- Action after a recall speaks louder than words
- Recall refunds are a start but safety must come first
- Listeria in the dairy aisle is a risk we cannot ignore
Public health risk from recalled cheese
The recall covers multiple Wegmans cheese products sold in ten states due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. While no illnesses have been reported yet, Listeria can cause severe illness in older adults, pregnant people, and those with weakened immune systems. Consumers should check for recalled items and dispose of them or return them for a full refund; regulators monitor the supply chain for any further action.
Shoppers should stay informed through official recalls and follow guidance from Wegmans and regulators.
