Chicken fillets from the brand Le Gaulois have been recalled in France due to possible contamination with Salmonella Typhimurium, a type of bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. The recall was announced by Rappel Conso on Friday, September 18, and affects several chicken products sold in various supermarkets across the country. The affected items include minced chicken fillets from Le Gaulois, sold between September 8 and September 11, 2026, in E.Leclerc stores. The specific product has the reference GTIN 3266980033477 and batch number 0416015611, with an expiration date ranging from September 18 to September 22, 2026. In addition to the Le Gaulois products, another item has been recalled: minced chicken fillets and breaded chicken thigh mince from the brand Les prêts à cuisiner. These were sold in 180-gram trays between September 8 and September 11, 2026, in multiple stores, including Grand Frais, Fresh, and Mon Marché. Consumers who have purchased these products are advised not to eat or use them and instead to dispose of them safely. They should also contact the store’s customer service if they have any questions about the recall. If individuals experience symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, or fever after consuming the recalled products, they are encouraged to seek medical attention and inform their doctor about the consumption. However, there is no need to panic if no symptoms appear within seven days, as the risk of illness is generally low if the bacteria were not ingested in large quantities. To reduce the risk of bacterial growth, it is recommended to cook chicken products to a temperature of at least 65 degrees Celsius. Consumers who purchased the recalled products can request a refund. Authorities emphasize that while the recall is serious, it is not an indication of a widespread health crisis. The situation is being closely monitored to ensure public safety.
