What are the health risks?
The problem of mislabelling of DLC exposes consumers to a microbiological risk. Indeed, consuming these mussels after the true DLC can lead to food poisoning, potentially serious, due to the proliferation of bacteria.
For a refund, it is recommended to stop consuming the product and return it to the point of sale. Leclerc will immediately refund the affected mussels.
