Shrimp sold in Carrefour, Cora, and Intermarché stores across France have been recalled due to contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause a serious infection known as listeriosis. The Rappel Conso website reported the recall on Friday, September 25, 2026. Listeriosis can lead to severe illness, and symptoms may not appear until up to eight weeks after exposure, making it difficult to trace the source of infection. The recall comes as a precaution to protect public health and prevent potential illness.
The first product being recalled is whole cooked organic shrimp from the Carrefour brand, packaged in a 300-gram tray. These were sold on September 10, 2026, in Carrefour and Cora stores across France. The specific product reference is GTIN 3523680338296, Lot 625011, with an expiration date up to 19/09/2026. Consumers are advised to return these shrimp to the point of sale for a refund.
The second product under recall is cooked peeled shrimp from the Intermarché brand, sold in a 160-gram tray. These were distributed between September 24 and 25, 2026, in Intermarché stores in several departments. The recalled reference is GTIN 3250393434549, Lot 262660113, with an expiration date up to 05/10/2026. Consumers are urged not to consume these shrimp and to destroy them immediately.
Consumers who have eaten the recalled shrimp and experience symptoms such as fever, headaches, and muscle aches are advised to consult a doctor and inform them of their consumption. Severe cases can lead to neurological complications or harm to pregnant women and their fetuses. Pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals, and the elderly are particularly encouraged to be vigilant. Refunds for the contaminated products can be requested.
