Gad Dairy, a prominent Israeli dairy producer, has issued a recall for a specific batch of its ripened Camembert cheese due to the potential presence of dangerous Listeria monocytogenes bacteria. The affected product is the 130-gram Camembert cheese with 33% fat, white mold, bearing the expiration date of September 7, 2026, and batch number BFBN.
