Why this recall of U MINI CHINESE CHOCOLATE CHIPS?
Cooperative U initiated this recall due to “suspicion of foreign bodies”. RappelConso specifies that the risks incurred by the consumer concern inert elements such as “glass, metal, plastic, paper, textile…”. These hard or sharp fragments can cause injury to the mouth, teeth or when swallowing.
The sheet reminds that, “due to the risk of injury/adverse effects following the ingestion of this product, as a precaution it is recommended that people who have products belonging to the batch(es) described above do not consume them”. This type of risk is taken seriously by the health authorities because it does not depend on a storage period, but on a specific physical defect.
What to do if you bought these mini Chinese U?
The action to be taken indicated by RappelConso is clear: “No longer consume” the product and “contact the point of sale”. U Stores offer a refund for customers who return the concerned sachet. It is advisable to keep the packaging to verify the batch and facilitate in-store pick-up.
For any questions, the brand provides the consumer contact number 09 69 36 69 36. The recall procedure is announced as valid until Wednesday June 3, 2026 ; After this period, these mini Chinese should no longer be present on the shelves, and any product still sold can be reported via the official online complaint systems.
