Products that are also found in Belgium
Products that are also found in Belgium, in various supermarkets. AFSCA has therefore launched a large recall campaign in recent hours. The Colruyt group proceeded on Tuesday to the recall of Camembert Everyday due to a possible presence of Listeria Monocytogenes. Fleur Fleur brand goat logs are also recalled for the same reasons.
This Wednesday, AFSCA expanded the recall of products, adding two to the list. It is the “Camembert” of the brand Father Alexandre (240 g) and the “Camembert de Character” of the old Porche brand (250 g).
For its part, Delhaize decided to remove the “Camembert Mini Portion” as a precautionary measure and the “Delhaize Fe Coulommiers 187 grams” of its rays.
Customers who bought this product are invited not to consume it and bring it back to stores, where they will be reimbursed. Meanwhile, all the stores have removed the products concerned from the shelves. “”It is not impossible that other products are added to this list in the coming days, the situation sometimes evolves from time to hour and we are in contact with our French colleagues“, Indicates the AFSCA spokesperson to us.

On the AFSCA website, we also learn that other products – which have not gone through the Chavegrand cheese dairy – are the subject of a recall procedure. These are cod nets sold at Carrefour and “Hollandse Nieuwe” sold at Albert Heijn.
We learned this Wednesday that a first case of contamination had been listed with us, as Sciensano confirmed to us.
A health problem that obviously recalls others, such as the Ferrero scandal, which this time concerned salmonellosis. The question is above all whether these infections are more numerous than before. “”En 2024, 777 tiac (toxi-food infections, editor’s note) were notified: 4,248 people were affected, of which 205 were hospitalized. There were 6 deaths. The number of notifications in 2024 is higher than in 2023, but similar to the number of 2022“Indicates the last AFSCA report.
In addition, the food security barometer experienced a decrease of 2.0 %. “”This also shows that the detection of collective toxi-infections has improved in Belgium. This is mainly due to the use of Whole Genome Sequencing technology (whole genome sequencing) which genetically connects pathogens detected in food to those present in sick people“, lit-on encore.
