• Health recommendationsToxigenic Escherichia coli shiga (STEC) can cause sometimes bloody diarrhoea, abdominal pain and vomiting, with or without fever, in the week following the consumption of contaminated products. These symptoms can be followed (5 to 8% of cases) by severe kidney complications, mainly in children. People who have consumed the products mentioned above and who have this type of symptoms are invited to consult their doctor without delay and inform him of this consumption as well as the place and date of purchase. If there are no symptoms within 15 days of consuming the affected products, there is no need to worry and consult a doctor. In general, the health authorities remind that as a precaution for the most sensitive populations such as children, the elderly or immunocompromised, pregnant women, it is recommended to cook minced meat and minced meat products to the core (70°C). The consumption of raw milk and raw milk products should also be avoided. Cooked pressed cheeses (such as Emmental, Comté, etc.), processed spreadable cheeses and cheeses made from pasteurised milk should be preferred. You should also avoid the consumption of raw or undercooked flour-based products (cookie dough, pizza dough, etc.). Plants should be washed thoroughly or peeled or cooked before eating.
