Listeria: potentially contaminated ham recalled by Carrefour

Beware ham consumers. Carrefour is currently recalling one of its products contaminated with listeria, indicates Rappel Conso, the government site for dangerous product alerts.

This is dry-cured ham from the Carrefour Bio brand, superior quality with a minimum ripening period of 7 months. The product is packaged in an 80 gram tray with four slices and barcode 3560071081898. The affected lot is 210152561, with a minimum durability date of 10/16/2022.

This ham was sold throughout France from July 19, 2022. Due to the “detection of Listeria monocytogenes < 10 cfu/g with Aw = 0.94 and pH = 6", it is advisable not to consume it. Eating a contaminated product can have serious consequences: meningitis, encephalitis, sepsis or even miscarriage in pregnant women.

People who have this ham in their refrigerator are invited to bring it back to the store for a refund. For more information, consumers can contact 04 74 63 98 43.

A few days ago, it was the “oak leaf” salad sold at Leclerc and Monoprix which was the subject of a recall, which is still ongoing. The first recall concerned sachets of 125 grams, of the Notre jardin brand, a range of the Marque Repère de Leclerc. The recalled lot is 40325127 with barcode 3564700632260. The product was marketed between July 5 and July 13, 2022, in all Leclerc stores in France.

On the side of Monoprix, these are also packs of 125 grams of oak leaf which are recalled. They were sold throughout France between July 6 and July 13. They carry the barcode 3350030184063. In both cases, it is advisable not to consume this salad.

In case of fever, isolated or accompanied by headaches, and body aches, it is recommended to consult a doctor. Although rare, listeriosis is a potentially serious disease. “Severe forms with neurological complications and maternal or fetal damage in pregnant women can also sometimes occur,” says Rappel Conso. 300 to 400 cases of invasive listeriosis are reported each year in France, according to figures from Public Health France. It is the second leading cause of food-related death in France.
