The National Administration of Medicines, Food and Medical Technology (ANMAT) and the National Agri-Food Health and Quality Service (SENASA) have suspended the production of a cheese from a recognized market after detecting the presence of a bacteria.
The health alert was issued after the presence of Listeria monocytogenes was detected in a batch of soft cheese from a well-known brand.
This is the Cremón double cream cheese from the La Serenísima brand, which is sold in a 500 gram pack.
According to authorities, it is batch 2703, manufactured on July 3, 2025 and with an expiration date of September 11, 2025, manufactured at a facility in the city of Trenque Lauquen, Buenos Aires.
The discovery was made during official controls and, as part of the preventive measures ordered by health organizations, led to the immediate cessation of production and the withdrawal and destruction of the products corresponding to the affected batch.
According to ANMAT, the product is already outside its suitability period. However, it was noted that there could be a residual risk if the cheese was preserved by freezing beyond the best-before date.
In this sense, it is recommended not to consume the product and to take extreme precautions, especially in immunocompromised people and pregnant women, who are among the groups at highest risk of this type of bacteria.
