Six children had to be hospitalized. Two complaints were filed by families, after poisoning in November in a daycare center in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), revealed France Bleu Occitanie Monday evening. These two complaints were registered before December 15, according to the prosecution, and others may have followed since.

Six children attending a daycare in Toulouse were hospitalized in November, some in serious condition. THE Ministry of Health had indicated in a press release in mid-December that their condition, linked to poisoning with E. coli bacteria, no longer caused concern.

Raw milk cheeses causing poisoning

Analyzes made it possible to identify the source of the poisoning: raw milk cheeses, manufactured in the Jura by the company Route des Terroirs. “Epidemiological, microbiological and traceability elements converge, making the link between at least part of these cases of HUS [syndrome hémolytique et urémique] and Morbier cheeses produced by the company Route des Terroirs” had thus been highlighted, according to a press release.

“Without being able at this stage to exclude other sources of contamination”, the authorities then requested the withdrawal of several cheeses produced by this company, recommending that people who owned them not consume them. The health approval of the Route des Terroirs had also been suspended, prohibiting the company from producing new cheeses.
