Osem-Nestle Recalls Classic Ketchup Bottles Due to Spicy Mix-Up

Osem-Nestle has initiated a voluntary recall of specific bottles of its "Classic Ketchup" (750g size) due to a packaging error. A limited production batch mistakenly filled bottles labeled as classic ketchup with spicy ketchup instead. The recall affects bottles with barcode 7290000072623, from batch number 62022828, with an expiration date of July 21, 2027, and produced between 10 PM and 11:59 PM on a specific date.

The company emphasizes that the product is safe for consumption, and the issue pertains solely to a difference in taste and content, not a health hazard. However, because the contents do not match the product declared on the label, Osem-Nestle is removing the affected bottles from store shelves. Consumers who purchased a bottle matching these specifications are advised to check the barcode, batch number, and expiration date. Those who identify their bottle as part of the recall can contact Osem-Nestle consumer services. This incident highlights situations where packaging errors, while not posing a health risk, necessitate product recalls due to discrepancies between the product inside and its labeling, particularly concerning consumers sensitive to spicy food.
