Minced meat recalled in France over fears of E.coli contamination

Sovivo, an enterprise which produces minced meat north of Toulouse, has announced it is recalling several products of minced meat from the supermarket chains Casino and Leader Price as a precautionary measure after the company detected the Escherichia Coli O26 bacteria in a carcass purchased from one of its suppliers.

The company detected the contaminated meat at its production plant in Bruguières, near Toulouse (Haute-Garonne).

The group was on Monday still under investigation to find out which of the three slaughterhouses in south-west France had supplied the contaminated meat.

Sovivo also announced in a statement that since the detection of the bacteria the Bruguières plant has been completely decontaminated and disinfected and thus the production has not been suspended.
