Overview
- The Ministry of Health ordered the withdrawal after detecting a possible presence of metallic fragments in specific mozzarella packages.
- Products were sold under multiple labels and pulled from Conad, Carrefour and Penny Market stores as a precaution.
- Identified batches include Conad 125 g and 3×125 g N5205Dm (15 Aug), Penny Valbontà 4×125 g N5205E (17 Aug), Carrefour Classic 3×125 g N5205E (18 Aug) and Latbri 125 g N5205D (22 Aug).
- Health authorities advise consumers not to eat the listed packs and to return them to the point of sale for replacement or refund, with some reporting that receipts are not required.
- This action adds to a summer series of food-safety alerts, including a recent Granarolo recall for possible plastic fragments and separate botulism-related withdrawals.
