Organic Camembert cheese from B.C.'s Saltspring Island could contain the listeria bacteria, and is now subject to a product recall, according to the provincial Centre for Disease Control.

The CDC found the bacteria in a wheel of cheese manufactured by Moonstruck Organic Cheese, and is advising consumers not to eat White Moon, Savory Moon, and Ash-Ripened Camembert varieties.

Food contaminated with listeria can cause listeriosis, a rare disease that is sometimes fatal. Listeriosis is characterized by symptoms including nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain and fever.

In elderly people and those with compromised immune systems, listeria can cause fatal blood infection or meningitis.

More information on the recall is available on the CDC's website at bccdc.ca. Anyone who believes they have consumed the recalled product and is experiencing symptoms of infection should visit a doctor or call HealthLink BC at 1-866-215-4700.
