Here’s the latest on Sobeys cheese recall in Canada.
Summary: A Canada-wide recall of several cheese-containing products sold at Sobeys stores (and banners like Foodland, IGA, Safeway, Coop, and Thrifty Foods) due to potential listeria contamination. The recall covers products sold across Canada except Quebec. Health authorities warn that listeria can cause serious illness, especially in older adults, pregnant people, and those with weakened immune systems. Consumers are advised not to eat the recalled items and to dispose of them or return to the place of purchase for a refund.[1][3]
Scope and affected stores: The recall includes Sobeys-owned banners across multiple provinces, including Atlantic, Ontario, and Western Canada, with specific mentions of Coop, Foodland, IGA, Safeway, and Thrifty Foods. Quebec is excluded from this recall per CFIA notices.[3][1]
What to do now: Check labels for the recall notice and remove any listed items from use. Do not consume recalled products. Return them to the store for a refund or dispose of them. If you suspect illness after consumption, contact a healthcare provider.[1][3]
Context from authorities: The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is coordinating the recall effort and emphasizes removing recalled items from shelves and homes. Health Canada notes that listeria may not smell or look spoiled but can still cause illness.[3]
Quick actions for shoppers in London, UK (note: you’re in London, but recall is Canada-wide): If you have any Canadian-imported cheese products or items produced by Sobeys from prior travels or shipments, review them for recall information and follow CFIA/Health Canada guidance. For any non-Canadian products, this recall does not apply to them.[3]
Illustration (example): If you had a pasta salad with cheese labeled as part of the recall, that item should be discarded or returned, and you should monitor for any symptoms if you believe you were exposed. This aligns with the CFIA and Health Canada advisories.[1][3]
If you’d like, I can pull the most current official CFIA recall notice and provide exact product names and UPCs from a reliable source, or summarize regional store notices you might have in hand.
