Overview
- Spain’s food safety agency AESAN received a regional alert via the SCIRI network after Basque health officials detected Listeria monocytogenes in a Capdevila bloc of foie gras.
- The affected product is Bloc foie gras de pato Mi-Cuit, lot L26029311821, sold in 40 g plastic-and-cardboard packs that must be kept refrigerated and carry a 29/01/2027 expiry date.
- Competent authorities have begun withdrawing that specific lot from commercial channels and AESAN has told consumers not to eat the product.
- Health services advise people who ate the lot and then develop vomiting, diarrhea or fever to seek medical care, with special caution for pregnant people who face higher risk from Listeria.
- The alert, which traces the product back to Bulgaria, underscores cross-border traceability in food safety and could prompt checks on imports and wider retailer stock reviews.
