European food safety recalls widen
Entities: Pâturages Comtois · Intermarché · LIDL · Norovirus · Freshona
Overview
The recall wave that began in late May 2026 across Romania, Greece, Italy and France has continued into late July. Early actions removed roe‑salad, mixed salads, smoked trout, carp, Petit Brie, chocolate pudding, salmon carpaccio, pecorino and ready‑made hummus after Listeria or Salmonella was detected. Italy later added several salami varieties, and France recalled an Italian dry‑ham sold under a private label because of Listeria.
The contamination spread to Central Europe, prompting Carrefour Polska to pull a cooked pork ham and French officials to recall pre‑packaged barbecue sausages sold at E. Leclerc in Violaines. On 20 July French retailers expanded the recalls: Carrefour withdrew around ten deli‑meat items, including cooked pork roasts, pork loins, rib squares, garlic sausages and pâtés, after Listeria monocytogenes was identified; E. Leclerc also recalled minced steaks sold in its Foix and Saint‑Jean‑du‑Falga stores after Salmonella was detected. Both chains urged consumers to discard the products, seek refunds and, for the salmonella‑linked steaks, obtain medical advice if symptoms arise.
On 30 July French health authorities issued two further nationwide recalls. A batch of frozen red berries sold under the Freshona brand at Lidl stores was found contaminated with norovirus, and a brie cheese produced by Pâturages Comtois and sold through Intermarché was found to contain excessive Listeria monocytogenes. Consumers were advised not to eat the products and to discard them safely, especially vulnerable groups such as pregnant women.
