RECOMMENDING
OFFICE:        CFSAN, HFS-606 and Division of Import Operations and Policy,
               HFC-170

REASON FOR
ALERT:         Early in 1986, Listeria monocytogenes was identified in a
               shipment of brie cheese produced in France.  As a result,
               subsequent shipments of brie cheese produced in the same
               plant were detained without physical examination.  Sampling
               of additional shipments of imported cheeses revealed that
               cheese from other French plants contained Listeria
               monocytognes, and by mid 1986, all brie and other soft-
               ripened cheeses from France were detained without physical
               examination.  Subsequent sampling and analyses determined
               that Listeria monocytogenes was present in shipments from
               plants in other countries, and shipments from these plants
               were placed on detention without physical examination on a
               case-by-case basis.

               On January 16, 1987, the Associate Commissioner for
               Regulatory Affairs (ACRA) agreed to the December, 1986,
               revision of the French Plant and Product Certification
               Program which included a requirement for use of pasteurized
               milk and Listeria testing for soft-ripened cheeses and goat
               cheeses.

               CERTIFICATION PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

               In 1974, a certification program was initiated in France
               under which only those plants, certified by the French
               government to be following good manufacturing practices,
               were permitted to export soft-ripened cheese to the United
               States. In January, 1987, it was agreed that the requirement
               for the use of pasteurized milk and Listeria testing would
               be covered under this program, which was subsequently
               expanded to certify goat cheeses as well.

               ATTACHMENT A:

               This is a list of French plants certified by the French
               Ministry of Agriculture to export only pasteurized milk
               soft-ripened cheeses to the United States.  The plant
               numbers on this list are considered confidential and are
               provided for FDA use only. The list provides the following
               information:

               Department: French administrative division where the plant
               is located.

               Name and address of plant

               Plant Identification:  The new approval numbers are 7 or 8
               digits, the first five of which reflect the old approval
               number.




               Basic Agreement (Agreement BASIC (I)):  Date for which the
               plant has been certified for absence of E.coli, fecal coli
               forms, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, and Shigella in the final
               products.

               Listeria Agreement (Agreement Listeria): The date for which
               the plant has been certified for absence of
               Listeriamonocytogenes in the final product(s).

Products:      Type of cheese manufactured by the plant and the
               certification status that has been granted. When
               certification status varies between products, the plant is
               repeated for each product.

               The following abbreviations are used to describe the types
               of products:

               F =  Soft-ripened cheese with flourished crust
                    (Example:  Brie)
               G =  Goat Cheese
               M =  Soft-ripened cheese made from cow's and goat's milk
               W =  Soft-ripened cheese with washed crust
                    (Example: Pont l'Eveque)
               X =  Soft-ripened flavored cheese
               E =  Soft ripened cheese from ewe's (sheep) milk
               Y =  soft cheese (feta type cheese from cow's milk)

GUIDANCE:      Districts may detain without physical examination soft
               cheeses from French plants which are not listed on
               Attachment A.

               French plants listed in Attachment A are covered by the
               certification program and not subject to detention without
               physical examination.

               FDA intends to update Attachment A periodically as new
               information is received from the French government.

               Districts may detain cheese from manufacturers listed in
               Attachment B without physical examination.

               Attachment B provides a list of *** French *** firms whose
               cheeses should generally be detained without physical
               examination for the presence of Listeria monocytogenes.

               FDA intends for all detentions for L. monocytogenes to be
               immediately reported to CFSAN, *** Rosemary Gary, HFS-606,
               at202-436-2058. ***  Recommendations to place a firm on
               detention without physical examination should be sent to
               DIOP, HFC-170.  Refer to the Domestic and Imported Cheese
               and Cheese Products Compliance Program (CP7303.037) for
               sampling, analytical, and regulatory guidance.  (Please
               NOTE: samples may also be analyzed for phosphatase and other
               microorganisms).

               Attachment C provides the names of French cheeses covered
               under the import alert.

               *** Since this import alert covers soft and soft-ripened
               cheeses only, all other cheeses from France, when detained
               for the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, should be
               recommended for detention without physical examination under
               Import Alert #12-10. ***

               For any issues and/or questions, not resolved by review of
               the Compliance Program, regarding science, science policy,
               sample collection, analysis, preparation, analytical
               methodology or confirmation tests, districts should contact
               the Division of Field Science at (301) 827-7605.
