On 27 October 2026, Switzerland’s Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO) warned that listeria had been detected in four mini-Brie varieties made by Eberle Spezialitäten AG: chestnut, garlic, porcini and chilli. They were sold by Coop and Migros Ostschweiz. The FSVO said a health risk could not be ruled out and advised consumers not to eat the affected cheeses. The manufacturer removed them from sale and began a recall.
Coop and Migros Ostschweiz published recall notices on 26 October; the FSVO’s public warning followed the next day. Anyone who bought cheese from this range should compare the package details with the official notices and should not eat an affected product. The FSVO points to detailed information on RecallSwiss.
Listeria can be transmitted through food. Switzerland’s Federal Office of Public Health says infection is often mild or symptomless in healthy people, but may be serious for older people, pregnant women, newborns and people with weakened immune systems. The warning concerns the named varieties; it does not mean all Brie is unsafe. The notices from Coop, Migros and RecallSwiss specify affected batches and return arrangements.
