The products that are the subject of this warning were offered for sale until November 1, 2024. They were packaged in a plastic pouch with the words “Au Saucisson Vaudois” written on one side. They were sold frozen.
The operator is voluntarily recalling the products in question. It has agreed with MAPAQ to issue this warning as a precautionary measure. People who have one of these products in their possession are advised not to consume it. They must return it to the establishment where they purchased it or throw it away.
However, properly cooking meat destroys E. coli bacteria . Preparing ready-made meals, such as spaghetti sauce, shepherd’s pie, or meat pie, requires a long enough cooking time and a high enough temperature to destroy the bacteria.
It should be noted that no cases of illness associated with the consumption of these foods have been reported to MAPAQ to date.
