A new alert concerns a product widely consumed for its virtues and its “organic” label. Darjeeling Bio Carrefour black tea, packaged in a box of 20 sachets (32 g), is the subject of a reminder produced on a national scale. This product was marketed between the end of April and the end of July in all Carrefour stores in France.
The reason for this consumption recall is the detection of an unauthorized pesticide in organic farming, the content of which exceeds the maximum residual limits set by European regulations. A health risk is mentioned in the event of repeated consumption. The brand therefore calls customers to no longer consume this tea and bring it back in store.
