Contaminated flours: what to do with these batches?

If you own any of these batches mentioned, it is highly recommended that you no longer consume them. Indeed, these products have a datura alkaloid content above the regulatory threshold. As Rappel Conso points out, “the consumption of contaminated product can lead to hallucinogenic effects which first appear as peripheral disorders”.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, “The alkaloids contained in datura (mainly atropine and scopolamine) can cause an anticholinergic or atropine syndrome, which is first manifested by peripheral disorders (dilation of the pupil and accommodation disorders; tachycardia, vasodilation, etc.) then central disturbances (agitation, confusion, hallucinations, etc.) They can lead to moderate intoxication lasting 8 to 12 hours or severe intoxication lasting 2 to 3 days (the dilation of the pupil being particularly slow to disappear). a pronounced dry mouth, visual disturbances, agitation, confusion, spatio-temporal disorientation, incoherent speech… Very small quantities are enough to trigger intoxication.The symptoms generally require hospitalization“.

The Rappel Conso site thus recommends “cContact a doctor as soon as these symptoms appear. This is why, for your health, you can return the packet of flour you have to the point of sale. A refund will be offered to you.
