Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux, France linked to Suspected botulism outbreak

7 months ago

Outbreak

Health authorities are investigating ten cases clinically suggestive of food botulism linked to the consumption of artisanal canned sardines in the Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux, France. Unfortunately, 1 person has died. The problem goes beyond just France and affects diners in Spain and Germany who … See More
also ate at the same establishment.

In detail, the patients exhibited symptoms consistent with food botulism. The initial case, a woman in her thirties, experienced non-specific signs when she first arrived at the Bordeaux University Hospital. However, she later suffered respiratory paralysis at home without a chance to return to the hospital. Cases have been identified not only in France but also in Spain and Germany. It is believed these cases also trace back to the same Bordeaux source of contamination.

The matter came to light after substantial administrative action against Tchin Tchin Wine Bar. All of the restaurant's canned goods have been seized, revealing issues with control in the canned manufacturing process. An analysis of all seized goods is expected by the upcoming Friday. To date, the food symptoms blame the sardines, which were served as is, like tapas.

"Despite the prompt response, it is estimated that around ten additional cases are possible due to the quantity of potentially contaminated product served by the restaurant," stated Thierry Touzet, deputy director of the departmental population protection directorate. Information has been distributed to health professionals by the Ministry of Health to quickly identify new cases. Victims of botulism potentially face long-term effects, especially if they suffer infectious complications. However, a botulinum antitoxin is available that can help shorten hospitalization time.

In case you experienced Botulism symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

Potato omelets linked to botulism outbreak in Spain

Outbreak

The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) is investigating a botulism outbreak in Spain linked to potato omelets. They have received 4 confirmed cases and 2 probable cases. These cases have occurred in various autonomous communities, and health services in these regions have been informed … See More
to enhance early detection in case of any new suspected cases of botulism.

The AESAN has provided all available information to the relevant authorities in the autonomous communities for conducting the necessary investigations regarding the products that may have been consumed by the affected individuals. While the same company produces the omelets in at least 3 of the confirmed cases and one probable case, no evidence has been established thus far linking the products or processes to the cause. However, investigations continue in collaboration with the production company.

Investigations are being carried out to determine if there are any unsafe products in the market or if there are any deviations in production, distribution, storage, or transportation processes that could justify the existence of this risk. AHORRAMAS, as a precautionary measure due to the lack of certainty, has decided to withdraw from sale the products indicated by the epidemiological surveys while awaiting further progress in the investigations.
