Security and risk management procedures
The management of a food recall in Switzerland follows well-defined protocols involving both food business operators and supervisory authorities. When a distributor such as Migros identifies a potential risk, as in the case of Nostrani del Ticino eggs, an immediate withdrawal procedure from the shelves is activated, accompanied by an information campaign aimed at consumers. This process is not only a commercial choice, but an obligation deriving from the strict regulations in force on food safety. The primary objective is to isolate the product from the market before it can be ingested, thus reducing the likelihood of disease onset. Salmonellosis, in fact, is one of the most common toxins transmitted through contaminated food, characterised by symptoms such as nausea, diarrhoea and headache. For those who have already consumed the product, the indications of the health authorities are clear: in case of onset of symptoms, it is necessary to immediately consult a doctor to receive the appropriate treatment. The reimbursement system managed by Migros allows customers to return the affected packages to any branch, guaranteeing the return of the sales price paid. In the event that the product has been purchased through the Migros Online digital channel, customer service will contact users directly
