A statement from FACUA-Consumidores en Acción reported that the Froneri ice cream factory in Spain—responsible for Nestlé, Milka, Toblerone, Nuii, Oreo, Princesa, La Lechera, and Smarties products—accidentally contaminated several batches with ethylene oxide, a gas used as an antifreeze that is flammable and has carcinogenic effects.From the Swiss multinational brand, there are 46 varieties of ice cream that have been withdrawn from the market due to this event. There is already a list with the affected lots, disseminated internally by the Carrefour, Dia, and Covirán chains, but they suspect that it is not complete because it is “part of Froneri product withdrawal alerts.”
