Attention danger: ketchup recalled in supermarkets for microbiological contamination
Two references of ketchup sold throughout France are the subject of a recall due to microbiological contamination. Consumers are invited not to consume these products and return them to stores.

Published on May 15, 2025, a product recall concerns two references of Ketchup Nature marketed in the U system stores. These daily condiments, often used to support prepared dishes or snacks, have microbiological non-compliance likely to pose a health risk. The flexible bottles targeted by this consumption recall were sold throughout the national territory.

The recall concerns two very distinct products under the brand U: the Ketchup Nature Mini price in a flexible 560g bottle and the Tomato Ketchup Nature U in 1kg flexible bottle. These references were put up for sale from March 18, 2025 in the U. The withdrawal procedure is underway and will end on May 31, 2025. Consumers are asked to no longer consume these products and report them in store.
