Child Dies in France Food Poisoning Outbreak
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

A 12-year-old girl has died and seven other children were hospitalized in a growing food poisoning outbreak centered around Saint-Quentin, south of Lille in northern France. Health authorities confirmed the victim succumbed to haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), a rare condition causing acute kidney failure typically linked to E. coli bacteria contamination. The Hauts-de-France regional health agency reported all affected children, aged 1-12, developed severe symptoms including bloody diarrhea, with five diagnosed with the life-threatening HUS complication.

French food safety inspectors have launched an urgent investigation, temporarily closing several Saint-Quentin butchers after seizing meat, marinades and spices for laboratory testing. Despite initial findings ruling out tap water contamination, the source remains elusive as affected families shopped at different locations. L’Aisne Nouvelle reported heightened scrutiny of meat handling practices, though officials stress no common food source has been identified among the victims who didn’t share meals or social circles.

Child Dies in France Food Poisoning Outbreak

The French public health authority has issued urgent guidelines for parents, emphasizing strict food hygiene measures: thorough cooking of meat, separation of raw and cooked foods, and vigorous washing of fruits and vegetables. With the latest case reported Wednesday, officials are conducting bacterial strain analysis to determine if a single contaminated food supplier affected multiple outlets. The Aisne prefecture confirmed the deceased child developed symptoms on June 12, with other cases emerging progressively across the region.

Medical experts note the E. coli-related HUS cases represent an unusually severe cluster, prompting questions about food supply chain oversight in rural France. While most E. coli infections cause temporary illness, the dangerous Shiga toxin-producing strains can trigger kidney failure in children.

The outbreak coincides with peak summer demand for fresh produce and grilled meats, amplifying public health concerns. Authorities are at this time, tracing the children’s food consumption histories while monitoring for new cases in the Hauts-de-France region.
