No longer possible to eat tapenade from Auchan
In recent months, product recalls are linked. Recently, it was ice cream or tortilla chips that had a problem. It should be noted that when brands or government authorities initiate product recalls, it is because there is a potential risk to consumer health. Today, it is the turn of a star ingredient of the aperitif to be the subject of a product recall. Indeed, for a few hours, a batch of black olive tapenade has been recalled.

Why ? Well it’s very simple. The tapenade is recalled because some jars contain almonds. Almond being an allergen, this can be a problem for people with allergies, knowing that the label does not mention the presence of these almonds. But what tapenade is it exactly? The recall concerns the batch of black olive tapenade 150 g from the Auchan brand. The products are sold in all Auchan in France.
People with an almond allergy should be careful
But not only. What we can tell you is that tapenade is also present in stores selling Auchan brand products. The batch concerned is the following: GTIN 3596710495238 with a consumption limit date of 09/26/2022. And the least we can say is that the risk is great for people with allergies. Tree nut allergy symptoms usually occur within minutes of ingestion.
They can range from hives to anaphylaxis. It is a life-threatening reaction that impairs breathing and can send the body into shock. Tree nut allergy accounts for 18-40% of anaphylaxis cases. That’s pretty high. To prevent a tragedy from happening, something had to be done against the tapenades. Signs call on their allergic customers not to consume these products. And above all, to bring them back to the points of sale as quickly as possible to obtain a refund.
What if you have it at home?
You can also contact consumer service at 06.08.90.85.70 to find out more about removing the tapenade. Otherwise, find the full list of product recalls on the website rappel.conso.gouv.fr. You will see what you can buy or not. It should be noted that this is not the first time that products have been recalled for allergy risks following a packaging problem. For example, this summer, Barilla pasta or even Lidl cakes were also the subject of a recall procedure for the same reasons. Pay attention now.
