What happened

The Italian Ministry of Health has announced the recall of a specific batch of clams (Chamelea gallina) due to non-compliance with the microbiological standards stipulated in European Regulation 2073/05. These clams were processed by a company operating a facility in Chioggia, located within the province of Venice. As a safety measure, public health officials advise consumers against the consumption of products from the identified batch. Individuals who have acquired these clams are eligible to return them to the original point of purchase for either a refund or an exchange.
