Latest Wegmans Cheese Lawsuit Updates

December 24, 2025: Class I Classification Reported

WSYR and PIX11 reported that the FDA assigned a Class I classification to the Wegmans recall of Locatelli cheese [1]. The report says Class 1 means using the affected products will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

November 26, 2025: Wegmans Recalls Locatelli Grated Cheese

Wegmans announced the recall of the Locatelli cheese with Wegmans scale labels. The cheese comes in a plastic tub [2]. Wegmans says all lot codes were recalled and removed from shelves. The recall began after its supplier told Wegmans the cheese may be contaminated.

August 12, 2025: Wegmans Recalls Camembert Cheese

Wegmans announced a recall of Wegmans Medium Camembert Soft Ripened Cheese and products containing it. The cause was possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The FDA posted the notice the same day [3]. Wegmans bought the cheese from Estancia Holdings of Cumming, Georgia. Estancia began its own recall after its French supplier said three shipments may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

What Is Listeria?

The CDC describes Listeria as bacteria (germs) that can contaminate many foods. People who eat those foods can get infected. The CDC says Listeria infection is rare, but serious [4]. Both Wegmans cheese recalls name Listeria monocytogenes as the possible contamination in the Camembert and Locatelli cheese sold at Wegmans stores.

Who May Be Affected?

You may be affected if you bought Wegmans Medium Camembert Soft Ripened Cheese, or products containing it, at a Wegmans store. The sale window ran from July 1 to August 12, 2025. Those stores were in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, D.C. The Locatelli Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese with Wegmans scale labels was sold between November 14 and November 24, 2025. Only people who became ill with a Listeria infection may have a claim, and each needs an individual legal review. Check the package for UPC 77890-53515 on the 8.8 OZ Camembert or UPC 2-77580-XXXXX-7 on the Locatelli tub to see whether your cheese was recalled.

Reported Injuries or Damages

The recall notices report no illnesses. Wegmans says Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections. The risk covers young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. The CDC lists fever and flu-like symptoms such as muscle aches and fatigue for invasive Listeria illness [5]. In people who are not pregnant, symptoms may also include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and seizures. Invasive symptoms usually start within 2 weeks after eating contaminated food. The CDC states that almost 1 in 6 people die in cases not linked to pregnancy.

Recall and Regulatory Background

The FDA states the Camembert recall has been completed and terminated. A recall alone does not decide who is at fault. Customers with questions about either recall can call Wegmans Food Markets at 1-855-934-3663.

Evidence to Preserve

Purchase and illness records can matter later. Keep the following items if you became ill after eating recalled Wegmans cheese:

• The recalled package or tub, kept with its label, UPC and best-by date or lot code
• The receipt, loyalty-card record or online order showing the Wegmans purchase and its date
• Photographs of the product, its packaging and the label showing the UPC and dates
• Medical records, test results and notes on the dates of symptoms and care
• Notes on who ate the cheese and when each person ate it
• Any messages with Wegmans or a doctor about the cheese or the illness

Filing Deadlines

Filing deadlines come from state law. The deadline depends on your state and on the dates of your illness and diagnosis. Missing the deadline may end a claim even when the facts are strong. Check with a lawyer promptly if you got sick after eating the recalled cheese. A lawyer can explain which deadline applies where you live.
