Medina halal sausages recalled: three batches contaminated with salmonella

An official recall published on RappelConso concerns three batches of halal chicken sausages from the Medina brand, due to the presence of salmonella.

RappelConso is the official website of the French government which lists recalls of products presenting a risk to consumers, whether food products or other consumer goods. The products concerned were distributed in the out-of-home catering circuit. Restaurateurs and professionals who have them are therefore invited to check their stocks and no longer use the batches concerned.

Salmonella can cause digestive problems, including diarrhea and vomiting, sometimes accompanied by fever and headache. Symptoms may appear within hours or days of consumption. Young children, the elderly, pregnant women and vulnerable people must be particularly vigilant.

Establishments that have received these sausages must remove them from their kitchens and check the batch numbers on the packaging. This recall concerns in particular restaurants, canteens, caterers or other establishments which could have been supplied by professional circuits. Although these products are not necessarily sold directly to the general public, they may have been served to consumers. If in doubt after consumption, it is recommended to monitor the appearance of possible symptoms and to consult a doctor if necessary, especially for the most vulnerable people. Details of the references concerned as well as the instructions to follow appear in the sheet published by RappelConso.
