Gourmets who fill their cupboards with inexpensive biscuits must remain vigilant. A batch of Sprits-type shortbread biscuits, very present on the E.Leclerc shelves, is the subject of a national recall after the discovery of an error in the composition indicated on the packaging. A detail that changes everything for some consumers.
According to the sheet published on March 19, 2026 on the official website
ReminderConsocookies SPRITS 400G ECO+marketed by SCAMARK for E.Leclerc, contain an ingredient not mentioned on the label: egg powder. Only a specific batch is affected, but it has been widely distributed. You still need to check if your package is one of them.
Which Sprits 400 g Eco+ E.Leclerc biscuits are affected by the recall?
The recall concerns shortbread biscuits packaged in 400 g boxes, sold under the Eco+ brand at E.Leclerc, identified by the GTIN barcode 3450970006453 accompanied by the additional code 04. The RappelConso sheet mentions lot E25295C, bearing a minimum durability date of August 23, 2026. It is these precise references, and only these, which fall within the framework of the recall Sprits biscuits 400g ECO+.
These packages were put on shelves in E.Leclerc stores throughout France between December 26, 2025 and March 19, 2026, including for drive-thru or online purchases using the same EAN code. Other Sprits references, other brands or other formats, are not affected by this alert, which targets this unique batch of Eco+ biscuits.
Undeclared egg: why are Sprits Eco+ recalled?
The official reason reported by RappelConso is clear: presence of the egg allergen in the recipe, even though it does not appear in the list of ingredients. The actual composition indicated specifies wheat flour, palm fat, sugar, wheat starch, salt, E503 baking powder, flavoring, egg powder, with possible traces of nuts and milk. This discrepancy leads to a case of undeclared allergenic substances, contrary to the rules for labeling allergens.
People allergic to egg are the first to be affected, because even a small, unannounced quantity can trigger a sometimes serious reaction. For them, consuming these biscuits by mistake represents a real risk. The recall takes place nationally until May 19, 2026, the end date of the planned procedure, in order to gradually withdraw all packages still in circulation in homes.
What to do if your Sprits 400 g Eco+ are affected?
The instructions posted on RappelConso are simple: no longer consume the biscuits from the affected batch, return them to the store or contact consumer service. Any customer can obtain a refund by presenting the product at an E.Leclerc point of sale. A dedicated toll-free number, 0800 45 32 78was put together to answer questions about this cookie recall.
If you still see these packages on the shelves, reporting them to the store or via the official DGCCRF tools is enough. In homes where egg allergy is present, regularly following alerts from the RappelConso site helps to secure purchases of biscuits and cakes.
