THERE have been a number of health scares in recent days in relation to food products.
With this in mind you might want to pop in your favourites a page on the Que Choisir website, the equivalent of Which? magazine, that highlights product recalls on French items.
The page provides a run down of products either by date or subject with information on the steps you can take if you find you've bought something that faces a recall.
You can stay in touch with the work of Que Choisir by signing up to their newsletter, this not only features the studies they undertake on products which you access via subscription, but mentions the latest recall news.

The site doesn't seem to be very up-to-date. They mention the Lidl burgers but that has been extended to 5 supermarket chains. Anyone worried should look at this article from The Connexion. http://www.connexionfrance.com/supermarkets-recall-hamburger-minced-beef-leclerc-maison-spanghero-ecoli-food-poisoning-12815-view-article.html
