This recent uptick of product recalls has been plaguing the nation since the summer and what's even worse is it's not just limited to food! In recent months we've seen everything from space heaters to pajamas to even nutritional supplements and spices.

This latest recall is especially hurtful because it involves one of my favorite snacks from one of my favorite stores. Actually, it was something I usually stock up on ahead of the holiday season:

Delicious and creamy wheels of brie!

On Monday, November 4 Savencia Cheese USA issued a nationwide recall for seven products produced at its Illinois factory. These softened, ripened cheeses were sold at east coast Market Baske t retailers and Aldi stores throughout Indiana, Illinois, Arkansas, Iowa, Kentucky and Missouri.

According to the news release from the FDA there have been no reported illnesses reported with this case so far, the recall is simply a preventative measure:

Through routine testing, it was identified that processing equipment at the site may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. While finished product testing has not identified contaminated product, we have initiated a voluntary recall to retrieve the potentially affected product.
