Reminder Conso announces this Tuesday, August 22 that certain batches are contaminated with Escherichia coli producing shigatoxins (STEC). The site, dedicated to alerts of dangerous products, recommends not to eat these steaks and to destroy them.

Be wary if you bought fresh 5% fat burgers from the Charal brand in early August. The Rappel Conso site announces this Tuesday, August 22 that some of these products are contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). Actions to take: do not consume these steaks and destroy them.

These pathogens can be dangerous to humans. Rappel Conso specifies that they can “result in the week which follows the consumption of contaminated products, sometimes bloody diarrhoea, abdominal pain and vomiting, accompanied or not by fever”. These symptoms can be followed, in 5 to 8% of cases, “by severe renal complications, mainly in children”.

The official site, dedicated to dangerous product alerts, adds that people who have consumed these steaks and who present one or more of the symptoms mentioned above “are invited to consult their doctor without delay, notifying him of this consumption as well as the place and date of purchase. In the absence of symptoms within ten days following consumption of the products concerned, there is no need to worry and consult a doctor”.

These Charal steaks unfit for consumption were marketed between August 2 and 14, throughout France, by the majority of major distributors.
