“Presence of foreign bodies” and “ink”: cordon bleus sold throughout France recalled

Be careful if you have recently purchased cordon bleus! Some packages could contain “foreign bodies” and “ink”, indicates the government website Rappel-Conso.

These are chicken cordon bleus from the Côté Croc brand, sold throughout France in E. Leclerc supermarkets and by Scamark, so the mission is “ to develop and market the distributor brands of the E. Leclerc brand “, the supermarket chain says on its website.

In detail, the meat concerned by this recall is sold in packs of two bags, under the name “Chicken Cordon Bleu Escalopes x2 – 200G”, indicates Rappel-Conso. The cordon bleus were marketed between September 3 and September 16, and they are part of batch number 29024246, with the GTIN 3564700721766, and are to be consumed before September 27, 2024.

Do not consume the product

Rappel-Conso emphasizes that this product recall is linked to the “risk of the presence of a hard plastic foreign body (blue color) in the product”. Consequently, “As a precaution, due to the risk of injury that could be caused by the ingestion of these products, people who may have these products are therefore asked not to consume them.”

If you have these cordon bleus, you are therefore invited not to consume them, to return them to the point of sale and/or to contact customer service.
