“All of the lots have already been withdrawn from marketing.
Some of these products were, however, marketed before the recall measure , " said the Carrefour brand in a press release, calling on its customers with one of the products belonging to the lots concerned to " not consume them and destroy them or report them to the point of sale where they (their) will be reimbursed ” . The U brand also published a press release about this recall, reported by the Oulah platform, dedicated to product recalls in France.

"Fever" and "headache"

The two distributors alert "people who have consumed the products" in question "and who have a fever, isolated or accompanied by headache" of the need to "consult their doctor by reporting this consumption", emphasizing " pregnant women ” , “ immunosuppressed people and the elderly ” .

Listeriosis, caused by the bacteria named Listeria monocytogenes, can be responsible for serious complications, particularly in fragile populations. It manifests itself either by an attack of the central nervous system by causing meningitis or meningoencephalitis, or by a septicemia (presence in the blood). Its incubation period can be up to eight weeks. It is however rare in France with 200 to 300 cases per year. Deadly in 30 to 40% of cases, it constitutes a real public health problem and is included in the list of notifiable diseases.
