Carcinogenic compounds?
“It is not possible to be exhaustive and categorical on the risks incurred following the ingestion of these products,” says CONSO recall. The fact remains that according to a study published on the Pubmed site, some HAPs are notably involved in breast, colon or lung cancers.
Customers who have purchased this product are invited not to consume it and bring it in store to obtain a refund. They can also contact customer service from the brand at 08 08 05 90 80 70 for any questions relating to this procedure. This recall will end on September 11.
