A health risk
As the hazardous product alerts site states, this ketchup may have a swollen bottle. It was also found that this product has an organoleptic defect. Organoleptic qualities are all the characteristics of a food or drink, perceived by taste, smell, sight, touch or hearing. These organoleptic qualities can be degraded and therefore lead to an alteration, which can have an impact on the consumer.
Due to a health risk, the latter has therefore been withdrawn from sales outlets. If you have this batch of ketchup, Rappel Conso strongly advises not to consume it. You can also return this product to the point of sale. A refund will be offered to you as compensation. For all inquiries, you can reach this number 0475324360.
