Black Magic

The CBC is reporting that Cheese Magic has had to throw out $1,000 worth of cheese and are currently being investigated for listeria contamination, after a pregnant woman allegedly ate cheese from the store and contracted listeriosis. According to Cheese Magic's Establishment Inspection Report from Toronto Health, the store was given only a conditional pass on Tuesday's inspection for a whole host of problems. (Slashfood was in the store yesterday, noting that "the long expanse [of cheese] that is usually 2–3 rows deep and a few feet tall was just gone....So much for room-temperature cheese.") Torontoist's Jonathan Goldsbie also spotted new conditional passes on Global Cheese and Mendel's Creamery—two other cheese shops in Kensington—as of Wednesday night, and spotted CBC's cameras outside of Global Cheese this morning. The cheesepocalypse is nigh!
