Be vigilant the next time you set foot under the table: a batch of smoked sausages, specifically gendarmes, are subject to a recall. This is the meat sold in the traditional butchery – charcuterie department in the Système U brands in Bischwiller, in the Grand Est, marketed between July 11 and 13, 2022. The cause? The presence of Listeria monocytogenes, the causative agent of listeriosis.

People who have purchased these smoked sausages are invited to no longer consume them or use them in their culinary preparations, but to return them to the point of sale before Tuesday, August 2, 2022 in order to obtain a refund. You can contact consumer service at the following number if you have any questions: 0388064200.

Have you already eaten the meat affected by the recall? Be alert to the appearance of symptoms such as fever, headaches or body aches. If you notice one or more of these signs, consult a doctor without delay, specifying this consumption.

“Serious forms with neurological complications and maternal or fetal damage in pregnant women can also sometimes occur. Pregnant women as well as immunocompromised people and the elderly should be particularly attentive to these symptoms”, underlines the official website Rappel Conso .

Please note: the incubation period for listeriosis can be up to eight weeks.
