The product recall concerns a labeling issue. Indeed, its label does not indicate all the ingredients present in the jar of olives. Some of these pots contain green olives while on the labels there is none no mention. So there is also no mention of the allergen“almond”. This error can then become very serious. This product is therefore found in a list of defective products. People who have an allergy to the contents of this jar of olives could risk serious problems after consuming this product.
The attitude to adopt in the face of a product recall
In general, when a product is recalled, it implies that its consumption contains a risk for a certain number of people. But should we do after becoming aware of the product recall of these black olives? The answer is clear. They should be brought back to the store where the olives are sold. The only good behavior possible vis-Ă -vis a product recall. First, you will receive a refund for the recalled product. Otherwise, you no longer risk your health.
