A brand of cheese sold in the Outaouais in July is being recalled because it likely contains the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, or staph.<\/p>\n
Quebec’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ) announced the recall Monday <\/a>of Grondines-brand cheese sold between July 9 and 16, 2026 at two locations of a local shop, La trappe \u00e0 fromage de l’Outaouais:<\/p>\n 114 Saint-Raymond Blvd. in Gatineau.193 Old Chelsea Rd. in Chelsea.<\/p>\n The cheese was sold refrigerated and wrapped in plastic, MAPAQ said. Anyone who bought it should not eat it, even if it doesn’t show signs of spoiling. <\/p>\n Food poisoning caused by staph causes symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, MAPAQ said.<\/p>\n Those symptoms appear anywhere from 30 minutes to eight hours after eating contaminated food, the ministry said. Anyone whose symptoms last more than 24 hours should contact a health-care professional.<\/p>\n As of Aug. 3, no illnesses had been linked to the consumption of the cheese, MAPAQ added.<\/p>\n In a French-language social media post, La trappe \u00e0 fromage said it did not make the cheese itself and that it had completely removed the product from its shelves.<\/p>\n Monday’s recall is the latest of several recalls involving Grondines-brand cheese in Quebec.<\/p>\n
