Economy Nestlé recalls ice cream of 46 different varieties due to ethylene oxide contamination
The consumer organization
Facua
has accessed a new list of
Nestlé
ice creams
whose manufacturer,
Froneri
, is urging establishments to withdraw them because they contain an ingredient (stabilizer E410) contaminated with
ethylene oxide
.
According to this organization, it was a
Carrefour
worker
who provided the data;
a Froneri spokesperson has explained that
not all the products included in the affected batches contain traces of ethylene oxide
, and they have not provided data on the withdrawn references so far.
The company refers to its website, where it has made a search engine available to the consumer in which the batch number is entered to find out if it is affected or not.
The list, received by Facua on August 5 by
Cepsa
gas stations
with
Carrefour
stores
,
includes units belonging to 19 lots of varieties of
Pirulo Mikolápiz
,
Extreme Vanilla
,
Cone Extreme Tres Chocolates
,
Nuii Almendrado with Javanese Vanilla
,
Nuii Mascarpone with Scandinavian Blueberries
,
Nuii Coconut
and
Mango
Bonbon from India
,
Chococlack Ice Cream
and
Milka Bonbon
.
On July 26, Facua already published a list with
46 varieties of ice cream manufactured by Froneri
that were being withdrawn, from the brands Nestlé, Milka, Toblerone, Nuii, Oreo, Princesa, La Lechera and Smarties.
To these are added four other varieties of ice cream made by Froneri for the
IFA Group
(
IFA
Eliges
brand), which the association learned about through posters posted in the Andalusian chain of supermarkets MAS, he said in a statement.
Facua has demanded that
Nestlé and Froneri
act with transparency and make public the complete list of affected products, although it maintains that to date they continue to limit themselves to including a notice on their website to check if the batch of ice cream purchased may be contaminated.
The entity has warned that with this decision, the consumer
cannot know if he has consumed a product with the substance
that is giving rise to its withdrawal if he has already thrown the container away.
The association has urged the
Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition
(Aesan, dependent on the Ministry of Consumer Affairs) to publish the list of contaminated ice creams and considers it "regrettable" that it has only included links to the contents of the pages on its website from Mars and Nestlé regarding the alert.
Mars
has already detailed on its website which references are affected, and its list includes ice cream boxes from
M & M's
,
Twix
and
Snickers
.
Those in charge of Froneri, for their part, have specified that there is "no category of product affected in its entirety and not all products under the same batch number -which includes several ranges, some with contaminated stabilizer and others not necessarily. affected ", so it asks consumers to check the references in the search engine available through its website.
Aesan issued a first alert at the end of June for the presence of ethylene oxide in some batches of the additive E410 (a stabilizer also called locust bean gum), used in the manufacture of ice cream and other food products.
