Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. has announced a recall of several cheese products due to the potential presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The recall affects Wegmans Medium Camembert Soft Ripened Cheese and various items containing this cheese, which were sold in the cheese department at all Wegmans locations in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

The recalled products include Wegmans Medium Camembert Soft Ripened Cheese (8.8 oz), Wegmans Assorted Cheese Flight (1 lb), Wegmans Grilling Camembert with Tapenade & Roasted Tomatoes (10 oz), and Wegmans Caramel Apple Pecan Topped Brie Cheese (13 oz). These items were available for purchase between July 1 and August 12, 2025.

Estancia Holdings of Cumming, Georgia supplied the affected cheese to Wegmans. The recall was initiated after Estancia Holdings was notified by their French supplier that three shipments could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious infections in young children, elderly individuals, and people with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may experience symptoms such as fever and gastrointestinal distress. For pregnant women, infection can result in miscarriages or stillbirths.
