  "account": "Spain's food safety authorities have warned consumers not to consume a specific batch of EROSKI's 350g ricotta sauce after glass fragments were found in the product. The alert applies only to this particular batch, imported from Italy, and does not affect other EROSKI ricotta sauce varieties. The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) issued the notice following information received from health authorities in Navarra. Shoppers with the affected product should check the batch number (LA310CRI01) on the label before using it. If the code matches, consumers should not eat the contents and return the jar to an EROSKI store. Glass fragments in food can cause cuts or other injuries if swallowed, and may not be easily visible. EROSKI customers can return the affected product to any of the company's shops. Other products with a similar name, like a ricotta sauce made by IAN, SA, are not included in the alert and can be distinguished by their barcode (8480010310078). The exact cause of the contamination and the number of affected jars remain unknown.",
