Why is this batch of Persimon persimmon recalled for pesticides?
The recall was triggered for “presence of pesticides above the regulatory threshold”, in particular
lambda-cyhalothrinan insecticide used on certain crops. The analyzes showed that the maximum residue limits, these famous MRLs which set at European level the maximum quantity of pesticide authorized in a food, were exceeded.
Exceeding the MRL does not automatically mean acute poisoning, but it reflects exposure above what regulations consider acceptable, particularly if consumption is repeated. Toxicological sheets describe, for this type of phytosanitary product, possible effects on the nervous or hormonal system in the event of prolonged exposure. It is precisely to avoid adding avoidable exposure that the removal of shelves is organized.
What to do if you bought these Osito Serie Oro khakis?
The action to be taken is explicit: no longer consume fruits from LOT 2638neither raw nor cooked, nor even frozen “so as not to spoil”. Consumers can return the persimmons to the point of sale to obtain a refund, according to the method indicated as “refund” on the sheet, until March 2, 2026. Even if only part of the box remains, it is useful to keep the label or proof of purchase.
In the event of past consumption, the official information does not provide specific treatment, but in the presence of unusual symptoms, it remains prudent to contact a doctor or a poison control center, reporting the product and the batch. To follow this type of alerts, the platform ReminderConsomanaged by the DGCCRF and the DGAL, offers detailed sheets, and any recalled product still on the shelves can be reported on
