This product was marketed in the packaged fresh section of your Carrefour or Mestdagh store

from 04/15/2022 to 05/04/2022.

Carrefour has decided, in collaboration with the AFSCA (Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain), to recall these products from consumers.

All products have been withdrawn from sale. Some of these products were, however, marketed on the Belgian market before the withdrawal measure. It is therefore recommended that people who hold the products described above do not consume them and destroy them or bring them back to the point of sale where they will be refunded to you.

People who have consumed the products mentioned above and who have a fever, isolated or accompanied by headaches, are invited to consult their doctor and report this consumption. These symptoms may be aggravated in young children, immunocompromised subjects and the elderly. These symptoms may suggest listeriosis, a disease with an incubation period of up to eight weeks.

For any additional information , you can contact the Carrefour Belgium consumer service by dialing the free number 0800.9.10.11, from 8.30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on working days and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. The MILCOBEL Company apologizes to the customers of Carrefour and Mestdagh for the inconvenience caused.
