Due to the presence of plastic, pasta from a famous brand sold in supermarkets across France is the subject of a product recall.
It is not the product that we instinctively suspect of being harmful to health, and yet, pasta sold throughout France is now recalled. Alerts from Consumption reminder generally concern children’s toys due to a safety issue, or fresh foods such as ham, chicken or cheese due to the presence of bacteria that can cause listeria or salmonellosis. Recently, a chicken sold at Carrefour was recalled for a Listeria problem; a tray of meat sold in supermarkets was contaminated with salmonella; and a cheese from Super U encountered a problem with E-coli bacteria.

The barcode (GTIN) of the product in question is 3038350333100. And the batches concerned are two: n°231217N641 and n°231217N642. The minimum durability date (the famous “best before”) indicated is December 1, 2026. So look carefully in your cupboard to check if you have a Panzani package concerned because without this, you won’t be throwing them away anytime soon. .
The presence of plastic in macaroni
But why are these macaroni being recalled? For the possible presence of “foreign body resembling a piece of transparent plastic”, specifies the announcement. The risks incurred for the consumer are inert: glass, metal, plastic, paper, textiles, etc. You must therefore not eat this pasta, return your package to the point of sale or contact consumer service and possibly destroy it.
