Jars of honey sold by certain distributors such as Carrefour, E.Leclerc and Intermarché have just been withdrawn from sale and are subject to a recall in store. The reason ? The taste and color would not conform and could train organoleptic changes.

Where can I find the list of recalled products?
You can find the complete list of recalled products on the recall.conso.gouv.fr platform. Set up by the Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Prevention (DGCCRF) in April 2021, this site lists all product recalls classified by category (food, hygiene and beauty, home and habitat). For each recall procedure, the reference (batch number), and the photo of the product as well as the risks involved are indicated. Only drugs are not included in the list.
You can also find all product recalls on the Twitter account @RappelConso or on the websites of the marques concerned.
Product recalls: a website to find all dangerous products
The list of all product recalls will be available this Thursday on the Rappel conso site, launched by the government.
Pizzas, chocolates, cheeses, ice cubes. All product recalls will now be reported on a single portal from April 1, 2021. It is no longer necessary to hunt for information on websites and in the media to find out if a product is dangerous or defective. An informed consumer is worth two.

The products consumer goods (food, household, childcare, etc.) that present risks to consumer health or safety may be recalled. If the recall is made before the product is put on sale, it will never arrive within supermarkets. But if, unfortunately, a product is recalled after being listed for sale, buyers are obligated to return the product to the store for destruction.
The retailers behind the recalls of products are required to inform public authorities and consumers via their websites, social networks and the media.
Unfortunately, the information passe often through the cracks, leaving many users in the dark.
A website accessible to all
To combat this phenomenon and better inform consumers, the Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Prevention (DGCCRF) has set up a portal listing all product recalls reported in France. This site, rappel.conso.gouv.fr, free and available since Thursday April 1, 2021, is intended to be the single site for product alerts dangerous.
On this portal, reminders of products will be classified under different themes (food, hygiene-beauty, habitat-home, household appliances-tools, etc.) with a photo of the product, the brand, the risk incurred and possibly the batch number and/or the geographical area concerned. Medicines, on the other hand, will be absent from this list. Medicines and medical devices will continue to be declared to the National Medicines Safety Agency (ANSM) within the framework of existing procedures, specifies the Ministry of the Economy.
All this information will be detailed by the professional himself, who will have the obligation to declare all his recalls on this site by filling in a product sheet. Everything therefore rests on the shoulders of companies, which we hope will not take long to react.
