Cracotte chocolate hazelnuts ended up by mistake in some packages of Cracotte chocolate biscuits of the Lu brand, announced the agri-food group Mondelez International Monday, December 16. The fault is a conditioning problem. The affected products have been recalled. This error “poses a risk for people allergic to hazelnuts”, explains the industrialist. However, the product does not present any risk for consumers who do not suffer from allergies.
The affected product is Lu Cracotte Chocolate 200G bearing a minimum durability date (DDM) until June 30, 2020 inclusive. The batch code is “OVE1293742”. Mondelez therefore asks people allergic to hazelnuts who have bought it not to eat it and to bring it back to the point of sale with the receipt. If in doubt, they are invited to contact consumer service on 09 69 39 79 79.

If a person with a nut allergy eats them, the symptoms usually appear very quickly. They can be cutaneous (hives, redness), respiratory (rhinitis, difficulty breathing, asthma, angioedema)digestive (nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea), cardiovascular (weak pulse, dizziness, etc.).
In the most serious cases, the allergy can lead to anaphylactic shock, a sudden drop in blood pressure that can lead to loss of consciousness, heart rhythm disorders and even cardiac arrest. If you contract these symptoms after eating a nut, immediately contact the Samu at 15 or the fire department at 18.
If you suspect an allergy, consult your doctor who will refer you to an allergist.
