Pumpkin compotes recalled across France

Do not use this product, return it! Authorities on Tuesday launched a recall of 12x90g Douceur du Verger (reference brand) reduced-sugar apple compotes sold in Leclerc stores across France from January 12 to 20, 2023, with code strokes 3564700416037.

The decision to recall was made following the discovery of a patulin from the mycotoxin family that was out of range. “Mycotoxins are substances produced by microscopic fungi,” the recall notice says. These substances can pose a health hazard if used extensively and repeatedly over a long period of time. »

Authorities are urging shoppers who may have boxes of these compotes to not consume them, return them to the store, or contact customer support on 0800 865 286 by March 20. The clients will be returned.
