Please note, certain Chabrior brand breakfast cakes sold in Intermarché stores may be contaminated by a chemical substance. Explanations.

If the product was recalled, it is because a check revealed an acrylamide content in the packages of cakes in question above the limit authorized by European regulations.
According to the National Food Safety Agency (ANSES), “Acrylamide is a substance that forms when certain foods rich in asparagine (an amino acid) and starch are cooked at high temperatures. This molecule is recognized as a proven carcinogen for animals and possible for humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)“.
Consequently, the brand invites consumers to no longer consume these products, to return them to the point of sale and to destroy the product.
Intermarché assures that consumers holding the packages will be reimbursed – until the end date of the recall procedure, March 26, 2024.
