Salmonella and tartar sauce: The workshops recalled: what are the risks?
The recalled batch contains bacteria of the genus Salmonella , responsible for salmonellosis, according to RappelConso. Public Health France describes this infection as acute gastroenteritis, with diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and headaches, which generally occur between 12 and 72 hours after the meal.
According to the Pasteur Institute, salmonella affects between 100,000 and 200,000 people in France each year and results in nearly 4,000 hospitalizations. The same institute reminds consumers that cooking meat to an internal temperature of at least 65°C for 5 to 6 minutes destroys salmonella bacteria , making the consumption of raw beef tartare from Les Ateliers particularly risky for vulnerable individuals.
If you have this Les Ateliers beef tartare, do not consume it, even if it has been refrigerated or frozen. Return it to the store for a refund or discard it. Public Health France advises consulting a doctor if diarrhea, vomiting, fever, or abdominal pain develops in the following days, especially for children, pregnant women, or the elderly. For your next purchases of ground meat, this agency recommends that these groups always cook it thoroughly, wash their hands well, and strictly separate raw and cooked foods.
