Goats cheese sold in Spar stores in NI recalled due to listeria fears

Goats cheese sold in SPAR stores across Northern Ireland has been recalled because of the risk of listeria.

The Food Standards Agency Northern Ireland said the product, SPAR Chèvre Goats Cheese is supplied by Horgan’s Delicatessen Supplies, who was recalling it.

Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores selling the product, explaining to customers why the product is being recalled and telling them what to do if they have bought the product.

The warning relates to the 100g packs with a use-by date of 12th August 2025, according to the FSA NI.

Symptoms caused by Listeria monocytogenes can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea. In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications such as meningitis.

The FSA NI has warned customers that if they have bought this product, do not eat it, instead return the product to the store they bought it from for a full refund.
