Auchan has just informed the Luxembourg Food Safety Authorities of the recall of its IGLO brand Frozen Aromatic Herb Tray, due to the presence of pathogenic bacteria.
The product concerned contains Escherichia coli producing shigatoxins (STEC) which may cause food poisoning, including diarrhoea or even haemorrhagic diarrhoea. These symptoms may be aggravated in young children, immunocompromised individuals and the elderly.
The products in question were withdrawn from Auchan stores in Luxembourg, but some of the stocks were already sold. It is not currently confirmed whether the products were also sold in other establishments.
