Urgent Recall: Conad Removes Ambrosoli Honey Due to Potential Contamination – Check Your Pantry Now
Rome,Italy – Consumers who recently purchased Ambrosoli honey at Conad supermarkets are being urged to check their pantries following a recall initiated due to the presence of unauthorized substances. The Ministry of Health,in collaboration with Ambrosoli,issued the alert,which remains actively publicized with warnings at Conad store entrances a month after its initial release. The recall centers on specific lots potentially containing residues of unauthorized pesticides or antibiotics, including Metronidazole, posing a risk to consumer health.
The recall does not affect the entire Ambrosoli product line, but targets several varieties and sizes of honey with specific lot numbers. Authorities emphasize the potential dangers, particularly for vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and those with compromised health, as the contaminants could cause toxic effects, disrupt gut health, or contribute to antibiotic resistance. Ambrosoli maintains that all other products “remain safe and comply with quality standards.”
The recalled products include:
* “Mielness Mielprotein chocolate” honey in 220 g jars, lot D0226 (TMC 02/28/2027).
