Dry sausage for an aperitif, snack on the go… Some references from 250 g dry sausages sold at E.Leclerc are the subject of a national recall for suspected contamination by Salmonella spp. bacteria. The alert concerns ready-to-eat dry products, usually placed on family charcuterie platters.
The official notice was posted online on February 19, 2026, as part of a voluntary recall launched by Salaisons de Beaume Drobie Salaisons Debroas. Two well-identified references, with a minimum durability date running until April 2026, could be purchased throughout France. Your label could match these lots exactly.
Recall of Leclerc dry sausages: which products are affected?
First targeted reference: the straight dry sausage from Ardèche IGP 250 g of the Reflets de France brand, sold at Carrefour. It bears the GTIN 3560071240844 and two lot numbers, 20410015 with a minimum durability date (MBD) of 04/12/2026, and 20400115 with MBD of 04/10/2026. This is a ready-to-eat dry sausage.
The second concerns PINBAZ, a straight dry sausage 250 g from the Cochon de Bretagne brand, reference PNBAZ. It displays GTIN 3760090372513, lot 20420253 and a DDM on 04/12/2026. This product, in cellophane packaging to be stored at room temperature, bears the health mark FR 07 110 002 CE and was marketed throughout France from 02/09/2026 to 02/18/2026 in E.Leclerc stores (Scarmar distributor). The recall procedure is announced until Sunday April 19, 2026.
How to check your dry sausages and what to do with the recalled product?
To find out if this recall of Leclerc dry sausage concerns you, start with the brand on the label: Reflets de France or Cochon de Bretagne. Next look at the weight (250g), then the GTIN barcode and lot number, listed near the MDD. Even if this MAD of April 2026 has not been exceeded, a batch concerned must be treated as potentially dangerous.
If the product is still whole or opened, the official instructions are clear: no longer consume it, return it to the store or destroy it. The professionals specify: “All requests will be studied for compensation,” indicated RappelConso. A single number, 0770079321, answers customer questions. Even in the freezer, a sausage from these batches should be considered recalled and no longer eaten.
Salmonellosis, symptoms and useful numbers after the recall
The information sheets indicate that “Food poisoning caused by salmonella results in gastrointestinal disorders (diarrhea, vomiting) of sudden onset, often accompanied by fever and headaches which generally occur 6 hours to 72 hours after consumption of contaminated products”. Young children, pregnant women, elderly or fragile people are particularly sensitive to it.
RappelConso also specifies: “People who have consumed these products and who present these symptoms are invited to consult their doctor and report this consumption.” In practice, a few simple gestures can help you react calmly:
- Monitor your condition in the days following consumption of these sausages;
- See a doctor quickly in the event of digestive discomfort or unusual fever;
- Keep the packaging and references to facilitate exchanges with the healthcare professional or the store;
- Remember that “If there are no symptoms within 7 days after consuming the products concerned, there is no need to worry and consult a doctor”;
- For foods intended to be cooked, keep in mind that “If the product must be cooked before consumption: cooking the products (hard-boiled eggs, pastries, poultry meat, etc.) through the core at +65°C helps destroy these bacteria and prevent the consequences of such contamination”;
- And if you still see these references in store: “This product still seems to be present on the shelves? Report it on SignalConso”.
