The Prefecture informs the population of an important health alert being investigated by Santé Publique France. The pizzas of the Buitoni brand Fraîch'Up range could indeed contain the E.coli bacterium responsible for serious cases of hemolytic and uremic syndromes in children, two of whom have died since the beginning of the year in France.
Very dangerous, the bacterium Escherichi coli or E.coli could have contaminated the pizzas of the Fraîch'Up range from Buitoni.

Two deaths have been confirmed by authorities sanitary. “As part of the investigations carried out by the authorities on the cases of severe haemolytic and uraemic syndromes reported since January 1, 2022 on national territory, the analyzes (epidemiological, microbiological and traceability) carried out suggest, at this stage, a possible link with the consumption of frozen pizzas from the Fraîch'Up range of the Buitoni brand" informs the DGCCRF on March 18.
