A trip to the deli counter might seem harmless, especially when you’re just buying a few slices of bacon for the weekend. However, at the Carrefour in Digne-les-Bains , in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region, a batch of sliced bacon is being recalled. Tests have revealed bacterial contamination that renders the product unfit for consumption. Before opening your refrigerator, it’s best to check if your bacon is affected.
Customers who purchased deli meats from this store between June 3rd and 4th, 2026, should be particularly vigilant. The bacon in question was sold in the regular deli section, without any visible branding or specific packaging. It is often taken home wrapped in simple food-grade paper, which makes identification difficult a few days later. If you have any doubt about its origin, you should review your recent shopping habits.
Local recall at Carrefour in Digne-les-Bains: who is affected?
The recall concerns exclusively unbranded bacon sold by weight in the traditional bacon counter at the Carrefour supermarket in Digne-les-Bains (04000). The product was on the shelves for a short period on June 3rd and 4th, 2026. All batches served on demand during these two days are included. The internal reference provided is the GTIN code 1111117811111, which is useful if you have kept your receipt or weighing label.
This recall is strictly local: only customers of this store in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region are affected. The same bacon purchased at another Carrefour store is not subject to this procedure. The deli meat was served without a printed expiration date, as is often the case with sliced bacon. If you bought bacon in Digne-les-Bains during those days and are unsure, it’s best to consider your product as potentially affected.
Listeria monocytogenes bacteria: what are the risks after eating this Carrefour bacon?
Health inspections detected the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in this bacon, a bacterium responsible for listeriosis . This foodborne infection can cause persistent fever, headaches, and sometimes severe body aches. Severe cases more often affect pregnant women, the elderly, or those weakened by another illness. After consuming contaminated food, symptoms can appear up to eight weeks later.
Not feeling ill immediately after eating does not mean the risk is over during the incubation period. An unusual fever, especially if it persists or is accompanied by headaches and muscle aches, should raise concern. In this case, you should consult a doctor without delay. Remember to mention that you may have consumed the recalled bacon.
What should you do if you have this Carrefour deli meat at home?
The instruction is clear: this bacon must not be consumed. Customers are asked to destroy it or return it to the store before Saturday, June 27, 2026. A refund will be issued, even for products without a printed expiration date.
On-site, a receipt facilitates the process, but the team can also rely on the product description and the purchase date. Details of the recall are available on the RappelConso website and by calling 0805908070, which can be reached Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
