Fifty-six people were infected in France after consuming Fraîch’Up pizzas from the brand belonging to the Nestlé group. The case caused the death of two children.
On May 25, another investigation was opened for “deception aggravated by danger to human health”, “involuntary bodily harm” and “endangering the lives of others” concerning the Kinder brand..
