Presence of potential salmonella
These various delicatessen meats have been recalled over fears of the presence of salmonella, the bacteria responsible for salmonellosis food poisoning.
Food poisoning caused by salmonella "causes a sudden onset of gastrointestinal disorders (diarrhoea, vomiting) often accompanied by fever and headache that generally occur six to 72 hours after the consumption of contaminated products," says RappelConso.

The site states that these symptoms may be more pronounced in young children, pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals and the elderly.
If there are no symptoms within 7 days after consuming the affected products, there is no need to worry or consult a doctor.
Return to point of sale
It is possible to cook hams at temperatures above 65°C to destroy bacteria, however RappelConso still advises to avoid consuming the products and to bring them back to the store. A refund procedure will run until Monday, December 4.
