Health authorities announced this Friday, September 26, the withdrawal and withdrawal of several tortillas of the Spanish Palacios group, sold everywhere in France in great distribution, on Friday, September 26, after two confirmed cases of botulism in Brittany.
“The health authorities were informed of two confirmed cases of botulism in Brittany, after the consumption of tortillas produced in Spain by a factory in the Palacios Group,” a Spanish leader in the production of pizzas and tortillas, indicates the Ministries of Agriculture and Health in a press release.
“The analysis of the National Botulism Center of the Pasteur Institute confirm the presence of bacteria in remains of the tortilla consumed by one of the cases,” continues the text.
Intemché, cleaning and crossroads
The results of the investigations were shared by the General Directorate of Food (DGAL) with the Spanish authorities “to identify all the tortilla references that are probably referred to.”
These elements led Palacios to transmit product references for their retirement and retirement.
These are the tortillas marketed by the intermartché and clean brands, under the “flavored itinerary” of the brand (500 gr onion tool), and by Carrefour stores, without brand (fresh tortilla with 500 gr and fresh nature 500 gr).
The other tortilla references in the Palacios Group “are not affected by this retirement and retirement operation,” said the press release.
The authorities recommend consulting a doctor quickly in case of symptoms such as visual disorders, difficulty speaking, swallowing or muscle weakness.
Symptoms with variable gravity
The disease is generally declared between 12 hours and 72 hours after the consumption of a contaminated food and causes symptoms with variable gravity: early digestive signs that can be fleeting (abdominal, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea), ocular participation, neurological symptoms responsible for a false road risk, drying of the mouth accompanied or even discourse, more or less paralitic Muslimons
Botulism, a rare but serious disease, is caused by a toxin produced by the clostridium botulinum bacteria. The vast majority of patients without delay heal without sequelae, but the duration of treatment and convalescence can last several months.
