A product reminder has just been launched this July 18, 2025 concerning minced steaks like a butcher 5 % of the Les Ateliers brand, marketed throughout France. In question: a suspicion of contamination to the bacteria Escherichia coli Stec, a pathogen particularly dangerous for sensitive populations.
These minced steaks trays 2 x 125 g, distributed on the shelves of the Fresh – my market, were sold between July 8 and 15, 2025. The recall is barely three days after the deadline for the batch consumption, which could be problematic for certain consumers still having the product in the refrigerator.

What are the risks to health?
The bacteria Escherichia coli shiga toxinogen (STEC) is feared for the complications it can cause, especially in children, the elderly, pregnant women and immunocompromised people. An infection can cause sometimes bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting and sometimes fever. In some cases (around 5 to 8 %), serious complications as renal damage may occur.
Consumers who have eaten these chopped steaks and have evocative symptoms are invited to quickly consult their doctor, by signaling the product and the place of purchase. In the absence of a symptom within 15 days of consumption, no worries to have.
How to be reimbursed?
Customers who bought this product can bring it in the Fresh point of sale – my market, even without a receipt. Full reimbursement is provided for in the official consumption recall procedure, valid until July 31, 2025. No proof of purchase is necessary, but the product must not be consumed and must be kept in its original packaging for return.
