Spain Issues National Alert Over Listeria in Goya 'Queso Latino' Batches

Officials say the swift recall protects high‑risk people from severe listeriosis.

Overview

  • AESAN, which issued a national food safety alert Tuesday, says the warning remains active as regional authorities pull the cheese from stores.
  • The affected product is Goya’s Queso Latino fresh cow’s‑milk cheese sold in 300 g plastic packs kept refrigerated.
  • The two implicated lots are 011056 with a May 31, 2026 expiry and 021046 with a May 30, 2026 expiry.
  • Consumers are urged not to eat these batches, to avoid cross‑contamination in the kitchen, and to seek care if they develop fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, with extra caution for pregnant people, older adults, and those with weak immune systems.
  • Spain’s SCIRI rapid‑alert network is coordinating checks of market withdrawal, and some outlets reported the cheese was sold at major chains such as Carrefour and Alcampo, while no human cases tied to these lots have been reported in the coverage.
