CONTAMINATED SHRIMP
Last June, Aldi launched a massive recall of frozen Golden Seafood shrimp sold between March 18 and June 5. These products were contaminated with Vibrio vulnificus bacteria, better known as “flesh-eating.” The retail chain urged customers to immediately destroy the affected shrimp or return them to the store, as indicated on the Rappel Conso website.
VIBRIO VULNIFICUS BACTERIA
This dangerous bacterium, capable of infecting wounds when handling products, can also cause serious gastrointestinal problems in healthy people and, in the most severe cases, cause sepsis in more vulnerable individuals. The 400-gram trays affected by this recall were sold in several regions, including Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Île-de-France, Normandy, and Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
A Toulouse resident discovered live maggots in a salad purchased at Aldi, raising food safety concerns.
