The lot number affected by the recall is C2312150053 with a minimum durability date set at December 15, 2024. Its product code is n°3560070926787.

Sold throughout France by Carrefour brands, the kibbles contain traces of Salmonella (agent responsible for Salmonellosis).

If you have this product, do not give it to your pet, destroy it or return it to a point of sale or you will be refunded.

If consumed, consult a veterinarian

If your animal has consumed this product and presents symptoms, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian and report this consumption

Salmonella are responsible for food poisoning and result in gastrointestinal disorders (diarrhea, vomiting) that appear suddenly, often accompanied by fever and headaches. These symptoms generally occur 6 to 72 hours after consuming contaminated products. They 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 kibble, there is no point in worrying and consulting a veterinarian. If the product is cooked at +65°C, this destroys these bacteria and prevents the consequences of such contamination.
