here are the brands you absolutely should not buy

Over the past few months, the Ministry of Health has issued numerous official communications warning the general population of the withdrawal of certain specific batches of certain foods that have profiles of inadequacy with regard to health regulations. hygiene and health. The last successful food is fundamental in the homes of all Italians: it is pasta. The removed lot belongs to a well-known brand in the industry that consumers have reported finding bits of metal inside.

Pasta is one of the most consumed foods in Italy, some estimates indicate that around 23 kilos of pasta are consumed per capita per year. These are very small amounts compared to data from other countries close to us. Pasta is so appreciated because it is a very simple food, versatile and above all capable of giving satiety. Its uses are really numerous: it is possible to eat it with tomatoes, with pesto, in the oven and even to make it cold to cool off during hot summer lunches.

Pasta is a food that is bought mainly near the different supermarkets and, rarely, do you opt for the purchase in a pasta factory where they prepare fresh pasta thinking that the packaged ones are safer. In reality, this is not the case: from certain statistics carried out over the past year, it appears that the product purchased at the supermarket has an 80% greater chance of being contaminated. All this is confirmed by the continuous bulletins issued by the Ministry of Health.

The Ministry of Health has a section on its website dedicated to food batches withdrawn for non-compliance, in order to be able to update the population in real time. There are many well-known brands in the industry on this list. Let’s see what they are and why their lots were removed. The latest retreat is for a large company that produces many types of pasta. The company in question was recalled because there is a “possible suspicious presence” inside the pasta. These are metal fragments resulting from the wear and tear of the machines used.

The company justified itself by saying that, unfortunately, these are accidents that can happen because they are machines that must necessarily be used and that it is not possible, at the industrial level, to replace them with personal. Obviously it is strongly discouraged to consume this batch and bring it back to a point of sale to be reimbursed or to replace the product: this is strictly dependent on the policy regulated by the large distribution.
