Check your last races! You may have unknowingly purchased a beef patty contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, the bacterium responsible for listeriosis.

Indeed, the Rappel Conso site published a product recall this Wednesday, July 27, 2022, concerning a batch of meat marketed in an Auchan brand between July 18 and 27. It is a minced steak sold in the traditional butcher’s department by the Auchan Tours Rabelais supermarket.

Did you buy this meat? It’s simple: do not consume it anymore and do not use it in your culinary preparations. Return the ground beef to the point of sale before Wednesday, August 10, 2022 in order to obtain a refund. For any questions, you can contact consumer service on 02 47 37 65 36.

If you have already consumed the recalled product, caution: watch for symptoms such as headache, fever, or body aches. If you notice any of these signs, consult your doctor without delay and report your consumption to him.

“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 must be particularly attentive to these symptoms”, insists Rappel Conso, recalling that the incubation period for listeriosis can be up to eight weeks.
