Direct guidance
What to know or do
Do not assume a vegetarian refrigerated pâté has the same risk profile as a shelf-stable product. Check storage, ingredients and the exact product, and avoid liver-based versions.
What changes the answer
- Whether every ingredient is pasteurised or cooked through
- How the food was chilled, stored, handled and reheated
- The exact species, product label, recall or contamination warning
General guidance
When to get individual help
Choose a lower-risk alternative when possible. If the exposure already happened, record the product, amount, timing and symptoms and ask for advice instead of assuming harm.
