Traces of salmonella have been detected in milk products for babies called "Milumel Bio" from the brand Lactalis.
The alarm was raised by the Cora supermarket chain, where the product was being sold as they alerted Luxembourg's food safety authorities to the existence of salmonella.
The bacteria causes toxic infections, resulting in gastrointestinal problems accompanied by fever within 48 hours of consumption of the contaminated product.
In Luxembourg this product was sold at the supermarket Cora in Foetz, but has already been withdrawn. However, several packs of the contaminated milk were sold before the product was removed from the shelves.
The Luxembourg food safety authorities advise consumers who have bought the product not to consume it.
