Recall for the beloved and familiar ketchup: this is the reason

Osem-Nestlé announced a voluntary recall of 750-gram Classic Ketchup bottles after some were mistakenly filled with spicy ketchup. The recall applies only to a specific batch, and the company emphasizes the product is safe for consumption.

Osem-Nestlé has announced a voluntary recall for some of its 750-gram 'Classic Ketchup' bottles. The reason: a point defect in the production process during which spicy ketchup was packed into the bottles instead of the product listed on the label. The recall does not apply to all bottles, but only to a specific batch: bottles bearing barcode 7290000072623, from batch number 62022828, with a best-before date of 21.7.2027, produced between 22:00 and 23:59. The company emphasizes that the product is safe for consumption in terms of food safety, and the issue concerns only a difference in content and taste. However, since the content does not match the product declared on the packaging, the company is working to collect the bottles from points of sale. Consumers who purchased a bottle from the batch are asked to check the barcode, batch number, and expiration date, and to contact the company's customer service.
