Understand listeriosis and the health risks the disease presents
Rappel Conso reinforces that listeriosis is a potentially serious health condition, which can have an incubation period of up to eight weeks. If individuals have consumed salmon and experience symptoms such as fever, headaches or body aches, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention and inform them about consuming the product.
The information portal on dangerous products warns about the possibility of more severe manifestations of the disease, including neurological complications and risks for pregnant women, such as maternal or fetal harm. Therefore, high-risk groups such as pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems and the elderly should pay extra attention to the signs of infection.
The guideline is for consumers not to eat contaminated salmon and to return it to any point of sale to receive a refund. The deadline for closing this collection process is set for July 6, 2026. For clarification of doubts, a contact number is available: 0800084000.
