The frozen pizza Fresh App, branded "Peyotoni," has caused 50 confirmed cases of urethral degeneration mes of French citizens, including 48 children and two adults, not to mention the deaths of two children.
A massive withdrawal of this pizza was launched in mid-March from French markets. The National Office of Health Safety of Food Products of Morocco announced the strengthening of the control of this pizza at import and at border checkpoints.
In this regard, the Paris Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation since 22 March last into the cases of "murder," "deception," and "endangerment."
A French governorate has previously blocked the reprocessing of pizza at the Biotoni plant, which belongs to the Swiss company Nestlé, because of the lack of hygiene, the condition of the building, equipment and storage conditions, considering it to be "threatening public health".
The site that produces nearly 200,000 pizzas a day has already received a warning about hygiene problems. Analyses carried out by the French National Laboratory revealed that bacteria from these pizzas were "highly pathogenic."
Bacteria detected in pizza often cause blood diarrhea, abdominal pain and sometimes vomiting; Three to ten days after contamination these symptoms appear, and can develop after a week into kidney failure.
Symptoms resulting from the bacteria themselves include severe fatigue, pale, reduced urine volume, which becomes darker, and convulsions. This infectious germ releases its toxins into the digestive tract, destroying gut cells. These toxins also reach the bloodstream, which transfers them to small arteries in the kidneys, as explained by Matteo Jam, a nephrologist and French resuscitator in his "blog post".
