People having consumed any of these products and who then present symptoms of gastroenteritis – such as vomiting, diarrhoea and/or a fever – are encouraged to consult their doctor, explaining that they have eaten contaminated food.
Immunosuppressed people should be particularly attentive to these symptoms, which can begin to occur between six and 48 hours after consumption.
People having bought the products should take them back to the shop for a refund and not eat them.

Contamination in the Étang de Thau
Distributors were banned by the Hérault authorities from selling mussels, oysters and clams coming from the Étang de Thau after it was discovered that they were contaminated with norovirus.
The seafood was contaminated on December 15.
The ban will be lifted once health safety conditions are met, they say.
