Leclerc, Super U… Raclette Cheese Contaminated with Listeria Recalled Massively Throughout France

This is a set of raclette cheeses from the Raclette des Petits Monts brand. At issue: the presence of listeria monocytogenes.

As temperatures cool and days get shorter, this is the reflex of many of us. Take out the raclette machine (or stay with friends to enjoy it) and carefully choose the cheese you are going to taste, or even devour.

But before going to a store or supermarket, you will have to be vigilant.

Indeed, Rappel Conso, the alert site for dangerous products, echoes, this Friday, September 26, 2025, a raclette cheese recall from the Raclette des Petits Monts brand throughout France. More precisely, it is a raclette cheese set, bringing together the flavors of nature, Provence herbs, wild garlic, pepper, porcini mushroom, bruschetta and savory.
