>__Nestlé France and its subsidiary Société des Produits Alimentaires de Caudry (SPAC) have been indicted in France over the Buitoni pizza scandal. The pizzas allegedly led to the death of two children and the poisoning of dozens of others.__
>A Nestlé spokeswoman told the AWP news agency on Friday that involuntary manslaughter charges have been laid. When contacted, the Paris public prosecutor’s office had not yet responded to our requests.
>“Following the tragic events that took place in France two years ago, the investigating judges in charge of the case indicted Société des Produits Alimentaires de Caudry (SPAC), a subsidiary of Nestlé France, and Nestlé France, on July 2 and 4 respectively,” according to a statement issued by Nestlé and revealed by AFP earlier this morning.
>“At this stage, this criminal investigation is continuing and no judgment has therefore been handed down.” The date of any trial is not known.
>The Vevey-based food giant’s subsidiary in France adds that it “intends to fully assume its responsibilities in this case”. Furthermore, “SPAC and Nestlé France will continue to cooperate fully with the investigating judges in the ongoing proceedings”.
>In March 2022, the Public Health Unit (PSP) of the Paris Public Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation for “involuntary manslaughter”, “deception” and “endangering others”, after several serious cases of contamination by Escherichia coli bacteria possibly linked to the consumption of Buitoni frozen pizzas. Dozens of French children fell ill and two died.
>A month later, the prefect of the Nord region banned pizza production at Nestlé’s Buitoni plant in Caudry.
>At the beginning of 2024, Italian company Italpizza bought the Caudry plant from Nestlé, which justified the sale on the grounds of falling sales.
Found the factory in Google Street View.
Wow… look at that fence. I love how France doesn’t put up with bullshit. Here in the US after what Blue Bell did everyone just gets collective amnesia and then we find them in /r/Texas craving the brand again.
