On February 19, 2025, a recall was issued for a batch of cooked roast due to the detection of Listeria monocytogenes, a type of bacteria that can cause foodborne illness in certain populations. The incident falls under the category of bio-contaminants and has raised concerns regarding food safety.
The recall was announced by Rappel Conso, a platform dedicated to providing information on food safety incidents in France. Consumers are advised to check their purchases to ensure they do not have the affected product in their possession.
Listeria monocytogenes can be particularly harmful to vulnerable groups, including pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems. The detection of this bacterium in cooked products highlights the importance of stringent food safety protocols in the processing and handling of ready-to-eat foods.
