The investigations carried out in Guadeloupe on these three products show that some were indeed marketed on the archipelago before the implementation of the withdrawal and recall procedure.
Those who hold the cheeses concerned are asked not to consume them and to bring them back to the point of sale where they were purchased. Health authorities remind people who have consumed it and who have symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain or vomiting that they should consult their doctor as soon as possible, mentioning this consumption and the possible link with the bacterium Escherichia coli.
If there are no symptoms within 10 days of consuming the affected products, there is no need to worry and consult a doctor.
