The Risk: Undeclared Allergens and Food Safety
French legislation mandates that manufacturers clearly declare all potential allergenic ingredients, including any possible cross-contamination during the production process. In this instance, traces of molluscs were detected in the pasta, but this information was not included on the product labeling. This oversight presents a significant health risk for individuals with mollusc allergies, potentially triggering severe reactions.
Understanding Food Allergies: A Growing Concern – Food allergies are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. According to the World Allergy Organization, approximately 3-6% of children and 1-3% of adults suffer from food allergies. Even trace amounts of an allergen can cause a reaction, highlighting the critical importance of accurate labeling and vigilant recalls like this one. Beyond immediate reactions, undeclared allergens can erode consumer trust in food brands and the broader food supply chain.
What Should Consumers Do? Refund Information & Contact Details
If you have purchased the affected Penne pasta, do not consume it. Consumers are advised to return the product to either a Biocoop or Greenweez store before December 31, 2025, to receive a full refund.
