Since October 2, 2026, a specific batch of beef mince has been voluntarily recalled in France due to a potential risk of salmonellosis, a type of foodborne illness caused by the Salmonella bacteria. The recall affects beef mince products labeled as "made like a butcher" and includes a specific batch number: 73728848. Two different products are involved: Beef mince made like a butcher 2x100g VVF from the brand Tendriade (GTIN 3384480022033) and Beef mince made like a butcher Carrefour le Marché 2x100g from the brand Carrefour Le Marché (GTIN 3245414264410). Both recalls were initiated on the same date and are linked to the same batch number.
The Tendriade product is packaged in green trays containing two 100g portions of beef mince and is meant to be stored in a refrigerator. The batch number 73728848, along with GTIN 3384480022033, is associated with expiration dates of October 7, 2026, and October 8, 2026. These trays were sold from September 29, 2026, to October 1, 2026, across various supermarkets in France, including Auchan, Carrefour, Intermarché, Leclerc, and Système U.
Consumers who purchased these products are advised to stop using them immediately and return them to the store where they were bought for a refund. Authorities have emphasized that this recall is a precautionary measure to prevent any cases of salmonellosis, which can cause symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. The French food safety agency, AFSSA, is monitoring the situation closely and has provided guidance to retailers and consumers.
The Carrefour Le Marché product, which is also part of the recall, has similar packaging and labeling but is sold under the Carrefour brand. Both products were produced under the same batch number, highlighting a potential issue in the production process that may have led to contamination. While no illnesses have been reported yet, the recall aims to ensure consumer safety and prevent any health risks.
