According to the investigative media Disclose, the failures linked to hygiene in the factory Buitoni de Caudry (Nord) had already been reported a few years ago. This factory notably produced pizzas from the Fraich’up range.
It was almost an open secret. For how many years has the Buitoni factory in Caudry (Nord) accumulated shortcomings? According to the investigative media Disclose, reports from 2012 to 2020 reveal recurring hygiene problems. Published by the survey site, the most recent is the most detailed. The inspector describes a “ceiling […] messy“, and finds “brown stains“, of the “Spider webs“, or even places “dusty“. He goes on to note that “the material is greasy and oily” and that “traces of mold“have been spotted.
The document is accompanied by dozens of photos supposed to prove these breaches of health rules. In another report, ten years ago, Fraud Control already noted an anomaly, including “son of moth“, parasitic insects, on production lines. According to Disclose, Nestlé would have received a warning. However, in a communication video published on May 30, here is what Jérôme Jaton, a director of Nestlé, replied when he was asked if there have already been alerts on this factory: “Never. There is a message that I would like you to take away, and that is that our priority is our consumers, and once again, [nous sommes] wholeheartedly with these families affected by these poisoning rates.“
