The recall concerns the whole of France and most retail chains (Carrefour, Leclerc, Système U, Auchan, etc.).
If recalls of food products are frequent, there is one, published Friday on the site “Rappel Conso”, which particularly attracts the eye. Indeed, it concerns emblematic biscuits, particularly appreciated by young and old alike: Granola. The Mondelez International group, which produces these LU brand biscuits, has issued a recall notice throughout France, concerning two references: milk chocolate Granola in batches of two (2x200g) and dark chocolate Granola (195g).
The American agribusiness giant made this decision, he explains, “due to the potential presence of a limited number of fine metallic particles in some of its Granola products and after an in-depth risk analysis, as a precautionary measure“. The recall is thus voluntary, without a prefectural decree.
