“Fever”, “vomiting”… Meat possibly contaminated with salmonella recalled throughout France

If you are planning a barbecue, double check what you have purchased. Batches of meat trays have in fact been the subject of recalls since Friday October 2, according to the government platform Rappel Conso. In question: the presence - or suspicion of contamination - of salmonella.

The first product concerned is a 320 g tray of four charcuterie-style poultry sausages (plain, herbs, merguez), from the Maître Coq brand. Two batches are concerned, 26265 and 26266, identifiable thanks to the barcodes 3230890017384 and 3230890017520 and the expiration dates between October 8 and 9, 2026. These sausages were marketed from September 22 to October 2, 2026 throughout France, notably in the Coopérative U and Leclerc, but also in several Intermarché stores in Niort, Carvin, Chartres, Grand-Couronne, Itteville and Marquette-lez-Lille, as well as in the Monoprix stores in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

Two references of minced veal are also affected by recalls. The first, branded Carrefour Le Marché, is packaged in trays of 2 x 100 g and bears the barcode 3245414264410. Only batch 73728848 is affected, with consumption expiration dates between October 7 and 9, 2026. These trays were sold from September 29 to October 2, 2026 in all stores Crossroads of France.

The second product is minced veal from the Tendriade brand, also sold in trays of 2 x 100 g, identifiable by the barcode 3384480022033. Lot 73728848 is recalled, with a use-by date of October 7 or 8, 2026. This product was marketed from September 29 to October 1, 2026 at Auchan, Carrefour, Intermarché, Leclerc and Coopérative U.

As the authorities point out in the recall sheets, “food poisoning caused by salmonella results in gastrointestinal disorders (diarrhea, vomiting) of sudden onset, often accompanied by fever and headaches which generally occur 6 hours to 72 hours after consumption of contaminated products”.

Symptoms may be more severe in young children, pregnant women, immunocompromised people and the elderly. Consumption of the products concerned is therefore not recommended. If symptoms appear after ingestion, medical advice is recommended, specifying the consumption of the product concerned. Maître Coq sausages can be reimbursed in the form of discount vouchers. For the two minced veal, a refund is also provided.
