Ethylene oxide, it’s chaos in supermarkets: other food retreats

Withdrawals from the food market. Ethylene oxide again among the causes of these necessary interventions.

The action of numerous supermarkets does not stop to withdraw products considered harmful to the human body from their shelves. The operations we are talking about are those that in recent weeks have involved numerous supermarket chains, which have been forced not only to withdraw the products deemed faulty by the various sales circuits, but also to activate a protocol that provides for the return of the product. possibly purchased by a customer.

In this specific case, after the episodes that involved Mars Italia ice creams, a specific brand of jam snacks and other specific products, we are talking about yogurt. Contamination by ethylene oxide therefore made it necessary to remove those batches from the reach of customers. We are talking about an element that clearly harmful to the human organism can cause it not a little damage.
