An urgent recall alert has been issued regarding roasted new potatoes with garlicsold in supermarkets Intermarché, Carrefour et U system. This recall is part of a preventive approach following an error on the use-by date (DLC) which could lead to risks for the health of consumers.
An important recall alert currently concerns new potatoes already prepared and cooked, sold at Intermarché, Carrefour, and Système U nationally. This precautionary measure was put in place due to an error regarding the use-by date (DLC), which could result in a potential risk to the health of consumers.
Identification of the recalled product
The product affected by this recall is a tray of roasted new potatoes with garlicwith a net weight of 600 g. These were available for sale between 03/12/2024 and 19/12/2024. Each tray bears the batch number M241100951 and the GTIN code 3271620100013. All units with these identifiers should be considered affected by this error.
Error on the expiration date
The error concerns the use-by date printed on the packaging, which indicates the 01/05/2025a transcription which could be confused with the American format, making one believe in an expiration in May when in reality it is set at January 5, 2025. This confusion could encourage consumption of the product well after its actual expiration date, thereby increasing the risk of food poisoning.

Consumers in possession of these potatoes are urged not to consume them. The product may be returned to the point of purchase for a refund or destroyed to prevent accidental consumption. For any additional information or to report a problem, the consumer service contact is available at 0387876510. It is essential to follow these recommendations to ensure safety and health.

Recall of already cooked new potatoes
As part of increased food vigilance, a national recall concerning prepared and cooked new potatoes has been launched. These products were purchased between December 3 and 19, 2024 in different points of sale such as Intermarché, Carrefour, and Système U. It is imperative to pay attention to this recall to guarantee consumer safety.
In particular, 600g trays of garlic-roasted new potatoes are affected. The trigger for this recall is an error on the displayed use-by date (DLC), which may mislead consumers as to the freshness and safety of the product. Instead of May 1, 2025, the real best before date is January 5, 2025, which means that consuming the product beyond this date could pose health risks.
The risks associated with this misinformation can include food poisoning, hence the order to no longer consume these products. The lot number to monitor is M241100951 and the associated GTIN code is 3271620100013. It is strongly advised to destroy the product or return it to the point of purchase for a full refund before January 20, 2025.
If you have potatoes matching this description, caution and prompt action are advised to avoid any complications. For any requests for additional information or to clarify doubts, you can contact consumer service at the number 0387876510.
