Listeria monocytogenes bacteria: what are the risks after eating this Carrefour bacon?
Health inspections detected the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in this bacon, a bacterium responsible for listeriosis .
This foodborne infection can cause persistent fever, headaches, and sometimes severe body aches. Severe cases more often affect pregnant women, the elderly, or those weakened by another illness.
After consuming contaminated food, symptoms can appear up to eight weeks later.
Not feeling ill immediately after eating does not mean the risk is over during the incubation period. An unusual fever, especially if it persists or is accompanied by headaches and muscle aches, should raise concern.
In this case, you should consult a doctor without delay. Remember to mention that you may have consumed the recalled bacon.
