If pasta appeared in China, then in Italy, the French are still very fond of this dish. It must be said that this food has it all. Economical and easy to prepare, pasta comes in several forms: spaghetti, macaroni, farfalle… In addition, they can be prepared with different sauces, which makes it possible to vary the pleasures. The industrialist Lustucru also had a brilliant idea: offer pasta boxes for those who want to eat on the go. So many students and workers buy them. The advantage? It only takes a few moments in the microwave to enjoy. But recently, the famous manufacturer had to issue a recall of one of these star products during lunch break.
Lustucru: the product targeted by the recall
Recently, the brand noticed an anomaly in one of the foods it sells. Therefore, she preferred to launch a recall procedure to avoid taking the slightest risk. It must be said that in recent years several scandals (Buitoni, Kinder, etc.) have shifted public opinion. We can therefore understand that Lustucru wanted to go ahead.
If you like the brand’s products, here’s the one to watch out for right now: they’re boxes that contain 4 cheese tortellini (360g format). Other Lustucru boxes, containing serpentini pasta, chicken sauce, cream and mushrooms (340g size) are also affected by the recall. Here are the references for the lots that pose a danger to consumers:
- GTIN: 3240931546650
- Batch number: 10196640
- Expiry date: 18 February 2023
These boxes of Lustucru pasta could be found on the shelves of various supermarkets (Auchan, Cora, Casino, etc.), spread throughout France.
