A risk of gastrointestinal disorders
These compote gourds contain too high levels of patulin, a mycotoxin resulting from the presence of various microscopic mold-producing fungi.
According to ANSES, a high ingestion of patulin can cause gastrointestinal disorders, ulcerations, distentions, haemorrhages and kidney disorders.
Consumers are therefore advised not to eat these compotes and to destroy them.
They can also bring them back to the store for a refund.
This option is possible until March 5, 2023, the end date of the recall procedure, in the U sign where the compote gourds were purchased.
