The children cared for by the leisure centers of Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis) will long remember their meal in the canteen this Wednesday noon.

reports

, they did indeed discover worms in their Swiss chard gratin.

Six offices are concerned: those of Cachin, Valbon, Vaillant, Varlin, Tesson and Michel.

The municipality was immediately notified and notified the parents of the students.

The city specifies that these are harmless mealworms.

Small invertebrates "are frequent and without risk for human consumption", reassures the town hall of Bobigny in a press release.

The hygiene and food safety department carried out investigations in school canteens.

The worms would come from a batch of flour used to prepare the bechamel sauce of the gratin.

“All flour stocks have been checked”, assures the city to the

Parisian

.

“An internal non-conformity sheet for our services was opened in order to understand and implement corrective actions.
