Alert for salmonella in a pasteurized egg white and crystals in a Ricotta sauce

The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (Aesan) has warned of the presence of salmonella in a pasteurized egg white from the Casa de Castrelo brand, distributed in Andalusia, and of foreign bodies, specifically glass fragments, in a Ricotta sauce from Eroski sold in Navarra.

In the case of pasteurized egg white, the affected batch is 6265, with a best before date of 10/27/26. The product is packaged in 500 milliliter plastic bottles, which must be stored in the refrigerator.

Aesan has detailed in a statement that, according to the information available, the initial distribution would have occurred in Andalusia, although it does not rule out that there may be redistributions to other autonomous communities.

This organization has been made aware of these events through a notification from the health authorities of the Junta de Andalucía, made through the Coordinated System for Rapid Information Exchange (SCIRI).

In the case of Ricotta sauce, the affected batch is LA310CRI01, with a best before date of 11/06/2028. The products, from Italy, are packaged in 350-gram glass jars, which can be stored at room temperature.

The alert has been transmitted through the SCIRI by the health authorities of the Foral Community of Navarra.

In both cases, people who have these products in their homes are recommended not to consume them.
