REMINDER OF THE CASE :
The company SA PERRIN VERMOT (SUSPECT), based in Cléron (FRANCE), produces Morbier and raclette cheeses for the French and
European markets.
Between December 2024 and the end of March 2025, PERRIN-VERMOT marketed cheeses containing Escherichia coli STEC bacteria.
Consumption of these contaminated cheeses caused some people to develop hemolytic uremic syndrome, requiring hospitalization in
intensive care.
This bacterium attacks the kidneys, brain, nervous system, and heart. Dialysis and blood transfusions were performed on some French
patients.
People who are immunocompromised, elderly, or have comorbidities are more prone to health complications following contamination
with the atypical E. coli bacterium (O17 stx2d+ eae-).
French health authorities have identified a case of contamination in Scotland and exports to various European countries, including
Ukraine.
On March 6, 2025, the National Brigade for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Investigations and the Departmental Directorate for
Employment, Labor, Solidarity and Population Protection carry out an inspection of the company SA PERRIN-VERMOT in Cléron following
the loss of sanitary control of this company over Morbier-type cheeses (unpasteurized pressed dough).
Following the appearance of numerous cases of HUS, the Sanitary Emergencies Mission determines the origin of the contamination from
the consumption of Morbier cheese produced by SA PERRIN-VERMOT.
During this inspection, the list of foreign customers (the foreign customers list of SA PERRIN-VERMOT’s resellers) is communicated to
the state services.
REQUEST :
In addition to the first message, this includes adding the request to the following countries, as communicated by the National Brigade
for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Investigations:
Please verify whether the withdrawal/recall information has indeed been communicated to foreign customers (Recipient
column), and to ensure that no cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome have been reported between December 2024 and
the end of February 2025 in relation to the bacterium of atypical strain E. coli O17 stx2d positive eae negative
belonging to cluster HC5_32689.
Please find attached a table summarizing the recipient addresses of the contaminated cheeses.
Thank you for your valuable cooperation
