Searches took place this Wednesday, April 13, in a Buitoni factory in northern France and at the headquarters of its owner Nestlé.
The reason: the discovery, a few weeks ago, of pizzas contaminated with E. coli bacteria and which caused the death of two children.
Two other health scandals have since erupted: Kinder chocolates infected with salmonella and products from Fromageries de Normandie (Lactalis), potentially contaminated with listeria.
