the link you posted is to the recall from before christmas - things have gotten a bit more serious... 'The Jindi cheese company is voluntarily recalling its cheeses after reports of listeria infections which have been linked to two deaths and one miscarriage.' http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-01-18/jind...h-fears/4471074

Thanks for that OP and update PP. I have a small wheel of Jindi cheese in the fridge. I just won't eat it. I had plans to stuff chicken breast. Oh well. Would rather not get sick, even if its only mild. .... Oops just checked mine and its out of date the 14th. Don't think they'd take that back for a recall LOL.

Interesting given many people believe soft cheeses made in Australia are safe territory. This post has been edited by *brightfuture**: 18/01/2013, 02:08 PM

I hate the fact that it has a 70 day incubation. Does that mean if someone ate the cheese before realising I was pregnant the sickness could still cause miscarriage...?
