what brands are affected?

Millions of eggs distributed throughout by various major brands have been recalled since Friday. Health authorities cite salmonella contamination for most batches and encourage consumers to throw away the products. But which brands are affected and how to recognize them?

Consumers should be careful. This Friday, health authorities published several recall sheets concerning eggs of different brands. Contamination with salmonella, the bacteria responsible for salmonellosis, is mentioned.

This alert should not be taken lightly, because the number of eggs affected and the brands affected concern different distributors throughout France. Charitable associations are also affected. We take stock.

The presence of salmonella noted

The bacteria found in several batches prompted health authorities to massively recall these products. If eaten, these eggs can cause food poisoning, which can lead to cases of acute gastroenteritis.

The consequences can be serious in certain people with particular sensitivity (suffering from malnutrition, illnesses, or even infants, young children and pregnant women, etc.).

If they have these products at home, consumers are asked to no longer consume them to avoid a risk of poisoning. The various recall sheets mention the instructions to follow to obtain a refund from each store concerned.
