This infection generally manifests itself between 6 and 72 hours after ingestion with diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever and headache. The most severe forms mainly affect young children, the elderly, pregnant women and immunocompromised people. Cooking thoroughly to more than 65°C destroys the bacteria, but the authorities ask that you no longer consume the targeted products.

Holders of affected trays must immediately stop all consumptioneven if the appearance and smell seem normal. Products can be destroyed or returned to the store to obtain a
refund. For the brand The Gaulan information number is available: 02 43 62 64 15 (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.).
