Overview

  • The positive finding involves Cremón doble crema, 500 g, Lot 2703, produced 03/07/2025 with expiration 11/09/2025 at Mastellone Hnos.’ Trenque Lauquen facility (Establishment B-I-05184).
  • Regulators ordered immediate suspension of production, market withdrawal of the lot, and destruction of the affected units as a precautionary measure.
  • Environmental surface sampling identified the contamination focus, which was removed, and SENASA is maintaining follow‑up surveillance at the site.
  • Mastellone Hnos., under SENASA supervision, conducted an internal investigation, eliminated the source and implemented additional process controls.
  • ANMAT advises anyone holding Lot 2703—notably pregnant people, immunocompromised individuals and older adults—not to consume it even if frozen or portioned, noting listeriosis can incubate for up to 70 days.
