Contaminated pesto sauce

Nylon-contaminated pesto sauce marketed by by Saclà and by Remano are currently sold in our Australian supermarkets. It is thought that the plastic or nylon in question are wires applied by farmers, designed to keep the seedlings tied in bunches which, however, are not separated before the production of the sauce, thus ending up in consumer dishes, creating an obvious damage to our health from which you can’t rule out a potential contribution to the increase in stomach cancer. The best solution is to learn how to make your own pesto at home but the serious danger remains for those who do not notice these plastic or nylon threads present in jars marketed by the Italian food industry and sold here in Australia, so we hope for a rapid intervention by the competent authorities.
