France reports 81 Salmonella cases from pumpkin seeds
The Ministries of Health and Agriculture in France announced the registration of 81 cases of Salmonella infection in various regions between May and August, resulting from a contaminated pumpkin seed shipment. Investigations linked the cases to seeds processed by a food company in southwestern France and distributed through multiple stores, including the "Grand Fré" chain. All contaminated products have been withdrawn from the market, and those infected who were hospitalized have recovered, including two cases in emergency departments, following a reduction in symptoms. Salmonella bacteria cause foodborne illness, with symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps.
