Ferrero UK recalls frozen Nutella Croissant because it may contain pieces of metal
Why it was recalled
Ferrero UK is recalling specific batches of its frozen Nutella Croissant because pieces of metal may have got into the product. Metal fragments in food can injure the mouth or teeth, so affected batches are considered unsafe to eat outright.
This is a manufacturing contamination issue, not a problem with the recipe: no single croissant can be judged safe by looking at it, which is why whole batches are being withdrawn.
Affected products
| Product | Pack size | Batch codes | Use by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nutella Croissant | 4 per pack | L126Z39, L127Z39 | – |
