Leading supermarkets urgently warned buyers that some products may contain the potentially fatal E.Coli.

Customers who have recently made purchases at Tesco or Harrods are strongly advised to avoid consuming two Fromagerie Alpine products due to possible bacterial contamination.

E. Coli bacteria can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and fever, and in more severe cases, hemolytic uremic syndrome, a serious condition that can lead to kidney failure and death.

Tesco has recalled a batch of its best cheese, Félicien du Dauphiné. The risk extends to the packaging of cheese weighing 180 g and to all batch numbers from 032 to 116. This applies to products with any shelf life.

Harrods recalled the Xavier David and Saint Marcellin PGI cheeses from the same manufacturer, which pose the same health hazard. Packages weighing 80 g, lots from 032 to 116, shelf life of products: from March 8, 2019 to June 16, 2019.

Fromagerie Alpine published a product review because both products could be contaminated with E. coli shiga toxin. Customers who have purchased cheeses are advised not to eat them, but instead return them to the store, where they are guaranteed a full refund.
