Contamination of flour by a toxic plant and Listeria in packets of grated cheese, error in the labeling of sausages… Several products have been the subject of recalls since Friday April 26, 2024. We take stock.
Buckwheat flour from the JP Cloteau brand
Sold in several stores in Brittany, between 1er March and April 26, 2024, buckwheat flour from JP Cloteau is subject to a consumer recall because the packages are suspected of being contaminated with tropane alkaloids. These toxins come from datura, a plant “the consumption of which may cause symptoms similar to those of acute atropine poisoning”, specifies the Ministry of Agriculture on its website. The risks are to develop the following: “dry mouth, dilated pupils, visual disturbances, tachycardia, agitation, confusion, spatio-temporal disorientation, hallucinations, incoherent speech”, specifies the government website Consumption reminder.
