Vibrio vulnificus: what is the risk with these shrimps?
These shrimp have been recalled because they may contain the bacteria Vibrio vulnificus. Belonging to the same family as cholera, it is found all over the world, in warm salty or brackish waters. You can therefore be infected when you consume contaminated seafood like these prawns.
Symptoms of a bacteria-related infection Vibrio vulnificus (flesh-eating bacteria) can result in gastrointestinal disorders but also in severe non-intestinal disorders (generalized infection/sepsis) in susceptible people or those suffering from pre-existing chronic conditions. Furthermore, skin infections are likely to occur from pre-existing injuries when handling products.

RappelConso’s instructions are simple: no longer consume these prawns, return them to the point of sale and request a refund. E.Leclerc provides the toll-free number
