Gorgonzola PDO withdrawn for microbiological risk – Italian Cuisine

Gorgonzola PDO withdrawn for microbiological risk


The Ministry of Health ordered it: contamination of the bacterium responsible for listeriosis is possible. Lots are sold by multiple brands

If you bought sweet Gorgonzola DOP, before consuming it, check the brand: the Ministry of Health has ordered the withdrawal of some lots, due to microbiological risk. Contamination of listeria monocytogenes, the bacterium responsible for listeriosis, is possible. The lots have been put up for sale by several brands, like Bella Italia, Igor Blu, Leonardi House, Novarì, Colle Maggio, but they have all been produced in the Cameri factory, in the province of Novara.

Listeria infection

Listeria infection, which can contaminate raw foods, such as meats and vegetables, but also dairy products prepared with unpasteurized milk, can manifest itself in two forms. The typical one of the poisoning, which a few hours from the consumption of the food causes diarrhea, or the more invasive one, "Systemic" (which can occur even up to three months after ingestion), from the intestine it passes into the blood and spreads in the organism up to the nervous system, causing encephalitis, meningitis and forms of sepsis.

More people at risk are those immunosuppressed, the elderly, the children and the pregnant women (the infection can cause pregnancy problems). For them, respecting all the hygiene devices is an even more imperative imperative.

The symptoms to watch out for are fever, nausea, diarrhea and muscular pains. When listeriosis spreads to the nervous system, instead, it causes headaches, confusion, stiffening of the neck and loss of balance.
