The cheese was made with milk from a herd in which animals tested positive for tuberculosis.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) is urging people who have recently purchased Corleggy Cheese to check the best before date on the products.
Corleggy has recalled its Cavanbert and Drumlin raw cows' milk cheese because they were made with milk from a herd of animals that tested positive for tuberculosis (TB).
The best before dates for the affected products are 14 February for the Cavanbert, and 13 March for the Drumlin.
No other Corleggy Cheese products are affected, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has assured.
The FSAI posted
a statement, which read: "Corleggy Cheese is recalling its Cavanbert and Drumlin raw cows’ milk cheeses that were made with milk from a herd in which animals tested positive for tuberculosis (TB). Mycobacterium bovis causes TB in cattle and consumption of contaminated dairy products can cause human TB.
"No other Corleggy Cheese products are implicated. Cavanbert Cheese and Drumlin Cheese with best before dates after 14/2/19 and 13/3/19 respectively are not subject to this recall."
