A product recall currently concerns Carrefour Classic strawberry trays, sold in all Carrefour stores in France. These biscuits, which seem harmless at first glance, are potentially dangerous due to the presence of foreign bodies in the packets. The recall, initiated voluntarily by Carrefour, aims to protect consumers from the risk of serious injury.
The Carrefour Classic 120g strawberry trays were recalled after an inspection revealed the presence of foreign bodies in certain batches. These objects can be made of glass, metal, plastic, paper, or textile, and represent a risk of serious injury if ingested. The minimum durability date listed for the affected products is August 1, 2025, and the products were marketed between November 28 and December 6, 2024. The affected lot is M24327, GTIN 35660071256791.
Consumers who have purchased these products are asked not to consume them, return them to the store or destroy them. A refund is offered for each tray returned. The recall, which concerns several thousand packages, is in progress until February 6, 2025.
Health risks associated with Carrefour trays
Ingestion of foreign bodies may result in internal injury or obstruction of the digestive tract. Although these objects are not necessarily toxic, their presence in a food product exposes consumers to physical risks. Internal injuries are particularly dangerous if objects are sharp or pointed.
The recall highlights a crucial point: quality controls must be scrupulous at every stage of the production and distribution of food products. Although these incidents remain rare, they are a reminder that human errors or failures in production lines can sometimes compromise product safety.
What is the procedure to follow to get reimbursed?
Consumers who purchased Carrefour Classic 120g strawberry trays can go to the store where they made their purchase to obtain a full refund. It is essential to keep the original packaging and the purchase invoice, if possible, to facilitate the refund procedure.
