A number of national supermarkets across France are recalling gaufrettes - or wafer biscuits - due to a manufacturing error.
The biscuits were pulled from shelves due to a warning over traces of plastic.
All the biscuits were wafers with a raspberry, strawberry, or 鈥渞ed fruit鈥� filling.
Brands including Leader Price, Casino, Netto, P'tit D茅li, Carrefour Extra, Delicia and Sondey had their products recalled.
All France sees recall
The main supermarkets affected were Carrefour, Leclerc, Lidl and Franprix, although some of the biscuits were distributed in Netto, Casino, Norma and Spar stores.
The products were sold either last week or the week before in shops all across France. They had best-before dates for around the end of 2023.
You can find the full list of products affected on the official recall website , with products listed in the categories of 鈥�C茅r茅ales et produits de boulangerie鈥� or 鈥�Produits sucr茅s鈥� under the 鈥�Alimentation鈥� section.
