France – Product recall: le habert brand yogurt – E.coli

Posted on July 19, 2021 by | Leave a comment

Oulah

ENCOUNTERED PROBLEM

Presence of Escherichia coli

PROPOSED SOLUTION

People who hold the product in question are asked not to consume them – and more particularly young children, pregnant women, immunocompromised people and the elderly – and to return them to the point of sale where they were purchased.

People who have consumed it and who present symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain or vomiting should consult their doctor as soon as possible, mentioning this consumption and the possible link with the bacterium Escherichia coli.

In the absence of symptoms within 10 days after consuming the affected products, there is no need to worry and consult a doctor.

The E. coli bacterium is naturally present in the digestive microflora of humans and warm-blooded animals. Some strains of E. coli are pathogenic, and can be responsible in humans for various disorders ranging from mild diarrhea to more serious forms such as hemorrhagic diarrhea or severe kidney damage such as HUS, mainly in young children.

Germany – Creamy Almond Ready to Eat Vegan Sauce

Posted on July 19, 2021 by | Leave a comment

LMV

Warning type:Food
Date of first publication:07/16/2021
Product name:

Creamy Almond Ready to eat vegan sauce

Product pictures:

Product image.JPG

Press release

Manufacturer (distributor):

Joy in a Jar Friedberger Landstrasse 138 60316 Frankfurt am Main

Reason for warning:

Detection of Clostridium botulinum

Packaging Unit:300 ml
Durability:

all best before

Additional Information:

Toxins in food that are produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria can cause severe poisoning (food botulism), which can be life-threatening. Already a few hours after consumption, paralysis can begin, which manifests itself as blurred vision, double vision, photophobia, swallowing disorders and dry mouth. The paralysis can progressively affect the respiratory and heart muscles. Possible early symptoms are headache, diarrhea and vomiting.

People who have consumed the affected food and develop symptoms within 36 hours of consumption should seek medical treatment immediately and suspect food botulism. Early diagnosis and treatment can save lives. Seeking preventive medical treatment without symptoms does not make sense.

The product was marketed through two retail outlets in Frankfurt am Main and one retail outlet in Berlin. All customers who had purchased the product online were informed individually by the company by email.

The already existing recall for the best before 01.09.2021 has been extended to all best before. Further information can be found in the attached press release.

Canada – Updated Food Recall Warning – La Bella Contadina brand Burrata Nadi con latte di bufala (cheese) recalled due to Listeria monocytogenes

Posted on July 19, 2021 by | Leave a comment

CFIA

Recall details

Ottawa, July 17, 2021 – The food recall warning issued on July 14, 2021 has been updated to include additional product information. This additional information was identified during the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) food safety investigation.

Fruiterie Milano Inc. is recalling La Bella Contadina brand Burrata Nadi con latte di bufala (cheese) from the marketplace due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. Consumers should not consume the recalled product described below.

Recalled product

Brand Product Size UPC Codes
La Bella Contadina Burrata Nadi con latte di bufala (cheese) 125 g 8 032891 701331 21/07/21
L21177

What you should do

If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, call your doctor.

Check to see if you have the recalled product in your home. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.

Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth. In severe cases of illness, people may die.

Background

This recall was triggered by CFIA test results. The CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products. If other high-risk products are recalled, the CFIA will notify the public through updated Food Recall Warnings.

The CFIA is verifying that industry is removing the recalled product from the marketplace.

Illnesses

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of this product.
