France – Withdrawal – preventive recall of batches of Buitoni brand Fraîch’Up frozen pizzas due to possible contamination by the bacterium Escherichia coli O26

Posted on March 21, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Gov france

As part of the investigations carried out by the authorities on the cases of serious haemolytic and uraemic syndromes reported since January 1, 2022 on national territory, the analyzes (epidemiological, microbiological and traceability) carried out suggest, at this stage, a possible link with the consumption of frozen pizzas from the Fraîch’Up range of the Buitoni brand.

Investigations are continuing to determine the origin of the contamination, including for other products, as well as epidemiological investigations in order to establish potential links with all the cases detected on the territory since the beginning of January 2022.

Consequently, as a precautionary measure, and pending additional analyses, the company is proceeding today with the withdrawal-recall of all the pizzas in the Fraîch’Up range, of the Buitoni brand, marketed on this day.
