The key facts
- A Muscovite bought cans labeled 'green peas of brain varieties' three times at the Auchan on Kashirskoye Highway, 61G, but found corn inside
- The manufacturer of the product is listed as the Belgorod Canning Plant
- The cause of the mix-up, the buyer's claims, and the scale of the error are not disclosed
Three cans — the same discovery
A Moscow resident named Pavel told SHOT PROVERKI journalists, that he bought cans of green peas three times at the Auchan hypermarket on Kashirskoye Highway, 61G — he was planning to make an Olivier salad. At home, after opening the first can, he found yellow corn kernels inside. Thinking it was a fluke, he returned to the store and picked up two new cans, but they also contained corn.
The labeling did not match the contents
The labels on all three cans read green peas of brain varieties, and the manufacturer of the product is listed as the Belgorod Canning Plant. The Olivier salad never got made — the buyer jokes that with this set of ingredients he will have to make crab salad instead.
What remains unknown
The reason for the mix-up with the contents of the cans has not yet been determined. It is also not specified whether the buyer filed a complaint with the retail chain or the manufacturer, and there is no data on whether the error affected other canned goods from the same batch. Earlier, Life.ru reported a similar case involving food quality: a Moscow woman found suspicious larvae in California rolls from Yakitoriya — an order worth almost 2,300 rubles first alarmed her with an unpleasant smell, and then with inclusions in the tobiko roe. Food technologist Elena Klimkina suggested they could be nematodes — roundworms found in fish products; after the discovery, the customer filed a complaint with the restaurant.
