RMC information states that two Franprix stores (Casino) continue to sell pizzas made from the Fraich’Up range of Buitoni pizzas, despite being subject to a product recall procedure for over three months. On Tuesday, the group responded by saying that it was “rechecking all its stores.”
RMC explains that Richard Legrand was the lawyer representing victims’ families who filed a complaint against Buitoni, Nestle group, over contamination of industrial pizzas with E.coli bacteria. He was alerted. According to media reports, one of the pizza stores that continues to sell affected pizzas is “very close” to the Champs-Elysees while the other is “in the middle of Paris”.
Franprix, in a press release, accused the managers at the two stores not having “respect[ed] the procedure for the recall” and having “overridden security measures that were put in place”. The sign states again, “They committed an egregious offense that we strongly condemn.”
She promises that she will use “sanctions commensurate to the severity of the situation” and has installed a “visual verification program in 100% of stores”, which will be “re-checked within 48hrs” to ensure that the recall procedure remains fair. Franprix, who is part of the Casino brand, said that if stores are identified, goods must be destroyed immediately. Sanctions will be taken against managers. Naturalia.
