A popular cheese sold at a supermarket with locations across the East Coast has been pulled from shelves following a supplier alert that triggered a multi-state recall.

Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. announced it is recalling its Medium Camembert Soft Ripened Cheese and several products containing the cheese due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. 

The bacterium can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. 

Healthy individuals may experience short-term symptoms including high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. In pregnant women, infection can lead to miscarriages or stillbirths.

The affected products were sold between Tuesday, July 1, and Tuesday, Aug. 12, at all Wegmans stores in the following states:

  • Connecticut
  • Delaware
  • Maryland
  • Massachusetts
  • New Jersey
  • New York
  • North Carolina
  • Pennsylvania
  • Virginia
  • Washington, DC

Impacted items include:

  • Wegmans Medium Camembert Soft Ripened Cheese, 8.8 OZ (UPC 77890-53515), best by dates 7/26/25, 8/12/25, and 8/19/25
  • Wegmans Assorted Cheese Flight, 1 LB (UPC 2-77100-00000-0)

  • Wegmans Caramel Apple Pecan Topped Brie Cheese, 13 OZ (UPC 2-77645-00000-3)

The cheese was supplied by Estancia Holdings of Cumming, Georgia, which initiated the recall after being notified by a French supplier that three shipments may be contaminated. No illnesses have been reported.
