Product Recalls?

I never searched for that in France, I found it and it makes me laugh : the two last products called back are sweet ciders, because there is a risk that the fermentation starts again in the bottle.They say the bottle may explode. It might happen probably as often as the explosion of a champagne bottle. The problem is probably elsewhere : You buy a 1° cider for children, and suddenly they become drunk like if they had had a strong cider.

HoooBOY I'm glad this never happens in America.

Good point ...... butt I thought retailers were supposed to pull products that are recalled.

Here in the US there is info given to the stores by the head office pertaining to the recall. There is info on what to pull from the shelf as well as placards that are attatched to the shelf where the item was. I think even the customer service desk has a poster detailing the recall and what the customer can do. I don't watch much television and so don't always hear of the recalls. We sell the maltesers and (I think) galaxy bars here in the US. Not sure how international foods are handled. I know, for my store, it is stocked by a secondary party, a vendor.

I guess if you don't do any of the things you mention and you had the product in your possession you would eat it and get sick which is sad but I guess it is always buyer beware!! Let's hope it doesn't happen often.

Weird, I've not heard of salmonella being found in chocolates before. I wouldn't hear of many recalls if I didn't work in a grocery store. I worked at a restaurant years ago where several people complained of food poisoning after eating spaghetti. I ate the same thing the same day and didn't have any repercussions. I sometimes wonder whether some have other issues and blame it on the foods eaten that day rather than their own uncommon sense. Of course, I know that it can be a problem, but if foods are tainted it should be a problem for everyone not just a chosen few. Many companies send those recalls out just to be on the safe side.

Thanks for the info. Thats certainly good to know.

must be bad for anyone who has just ate some of those immediately before seeing the recall warnings

There is never anything around here posted on retail outlets. Only online for me or as you say news tv.

It's nice to inform people using a display board, but what if someone was a tourist? Salmonella is not nice.
