Québec Recalls Head Cheese

Québec announced today that Boucherie Nobert (1495 Trudel, Shawinigan, QC) has recalled all head cheese sold at this location since September 25, 2008. 

The head cheese, which was sold in variable weight packages, may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Head cheese is not a cheese. It is a jellied deli meat loaf, made from the head, feet, tongue and/or heart of a pig or a calf. Other names for head cheese are "souse" or "brawn".

Consumers who have purchased the recalled item should either discard it or return it to Boucherie Nobert for a refund.
