Problem: possible presence of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum
The company “ISLA DELICE” is today proceeding as a precaution with the recall of the following products: “SAVEURDELICE GOUT BŒUF 230G & 500g” and “LES RANCHETTES AUX OLIVES 10TR” of the Isla Délice brand due to the possible presence of the Clostridium bacteria botulinum.

These products were marketed in Intermarché & Intermarché by Mestdagh points of sale between December 5 and 19, 2023.

Botulism is a rare disease that most often results from eating contaminated food containing botulinum toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum. This toxin develops in particular in canned or sausage products made at home or at home for which the sterilization process has not been mastered. Symptoms usually appear 12 to 72 hours after ingesting contaminated food, but they can develop earlier or later (2 hours up to 10 days). Botulinum poisoning is characterized by neurological signs: sensation of blurred vision, drooping eyelids, speech problems, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, muscle weakness. Digestive signs (constipation, vomiting, diarrhea) often accompany neurological signs.

It is therefore recommended that people who have products belonging to the batches described above (and only to these batches) not consume them and destroy them, or return them to the point of sale.

Research – Spain sees decline in alerts for 2022

Posted on December 21, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

According to an annual report published recently, the number of notifications in a Spanish food alert system went down in 2022.

The 880 notifications in the Coordinated System for the Rapid Information Exchange of Information (SCIRI) are declining from the record high of 1,081 alerts in 2021.

The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) coordinates national actions related to food products and food contact materials that may pose a risk to public health. The agency said the fall in notifications could be linked to the reduced influence of COVID-19 pandemic measures and fewer ethylene oxide alerts.

Fewer alerts and information notifications were made in 2022, and the 617 notices were mainly split between animal and plant-origin products, with food contact materials in third.

Based on food product type, fish and fish products were top followed by meat products and food supplements.
