Product recall: barely launched, Nutella ice cream is already recalled

Barely launched, Nutella ice cream is the subject of a recall. No risk of Listeria or foreign bodies, but the absence of the obligatory information in French concerning the presence of allergens.

Nutella brand aficionados were impatiently awaiting the release of the famous spread's ice cream. But finally, barely launched, the pot is the victim of a labeling defect. An incredible false start.

A lack of labeling with the list of allergens in foreign languages

The mention of the presence of allergens must appear in French on the packaging. Which is not the case and motivates the recall. The presence of cream, milk, hazelnuts, soy is not indicated in French, as are possible traces of gluten, eggs, almonds, walnuts, cashews, pecans, pistachios and macadamia nuts.

Therefore, the brand invites its consumers to contact consumer service 0800 553 553 and not to consume this product if you are allergic to the ingredients mentioned above. The end date of the recall procedure, July 28, 2024.

About author

I pass by being that person liable to duty, but who cannot resist the flights of imagination. I have always loved the legends, the myths and the stories of the old and distant times with my whole being. In high school I fell in love with the history of art and I made it the object of my university studies. Once I graduated, I dusted off an old flame: that of children's literature. I rediscovered the beauty and importance of illustrated books and books, where, to a quality text, images are added that give strength and enrich what is narrated with meaning. It can be said that illustrators often make real works of art! It was then that I decided to follow this passion of mine both as a volunteer, entering the ranks of readers born to read, and in my work as a librarian. I am a greedy devoured of illustrated books (I have an absolute weakness for the stories that have bears or wolves as protagonists!), I love simple stories that know how to strike and surprise. I hate pigeon-holed books in a specific age group and readers in a certain category of readings. I think everyone is different and deserves to choose (and be chosen by the books) without constraints, in complete freedom! [email protected]
