    I too think you'll be fine. All Australian cheeses (including soft cheeses) are pasteurised anyway so they are actually OK to eat providing they are cold and fresh.

    As long as it wasnt sitting out for hours you should be fine. I eat brie still but straight from the fridge.

    You should be fine, but Listeria doesn't cause a blood infection the same way as other bacteria cause a blood infection. And even though its pasturised, it could still have Listeria in it. It requires a lower dose of bactirium (around 1000 cfu) than other bacteria, but if you don't feel sick, then I wouldn't stress, just mention it to the doctor next time you see him
