A Tasmanian cheesemaker has recalled five of its products after they were found to contain traces of Listeria.

The bacteria was detected by routine testing and Ashgrove Tasmanian Farm Cheese says it is undertaking the voluntary recall as a precautionary measure.

No cases of illness have been reported so far.

The products recalled from the Bush Pepper line include Wine Lovers, Picnic Pack, Bush Pepper single cheese and half-wheel, and Emporium Selection Pepper Cheese.

General manager Richard Bennett says the recall relates to a single batch.

"Listeria is something we don't take lightly and our main concern is for our customers so we have put in this recall as soon as possible," he said.

The Elizabeth Town-based company is reviewing its systems and working to determine how the bacteria contaminated the cheese.

"We'll be doing a lot of swabbing to try and work that out, but at this stage no we don't know," he said.

"Listeria is a fairly common environmental bug, so as to how it's got contaminated in the cheese, it's too early to begin."

The cheeses are sold in Tasmanian and Victorian independent supermarkets, as well as Aldi stores.

They are being removed from supermarket shelves.

Listeria can cause illness in pregnant women and their unborn babies, the elderly and people with low immune systems.
