Slices of cheddar ready for hamburgers, kept cool in the fridge, are found at the heart of a
recall Pasture cheddar hamburger slices 340 g. A specific batch of this burger cheese sold at Intermarché is removed from the shelves because plastic threads may have slipped into the slices.

A simple look at the packaging allows you to know if your package is concerned.

Plastic wire in burger cheese: why this recall was decided
The reason announced is the presence of “flexible plastic wire from cutting the slicer unit packaging”. In other words, fine plastic pieces from cutting the lids could have found their way into the cheese. The risk is classified as inert foreign bodies such as glass, metal or plastic, with an “ingestion risk” mentioned.
As a precaution, it is stated that this product may cause “injury/adverse effects following ingestion.” The instructions are clear: no longer consume these slices if they belong to the targeted batch and return them to the point of sale. The product will then be supported for a
refund. The recall procedure runs until Tuesday February 24, 2026even if the good reflex remains to never consume a sachet identified as recalled.
