Hope for the Buitoni factory? Three avenues of potential buyers are currently being studied for the Caudry site, whose final closure was announced by Nestlé following the contaminated pizzas scandal, BFM Grand Lille has learned. These are “three nice touches”, said the mayor of Caudry, Frédéric Bricout, after a telephone meeting with the office of the Minister of Industry.
Of the three potential buyers, two of them would come from the food sector and would be the preferred leads. The name of the potential buyers is not known at the moment, but the employees will be informed in the evening. The Nestlé group has also chosen a firm to support the takeover of the factory. His name was not specified either.

The Minister of Industry, Roland Lescure, had insisted on “the obligation of results” of Nestlé, which has promised to find a buyer. The Buitoni factory had been implicated in the scandal of frozen pizzas with raw dough from the Fraîch’Up range, which could have caused the death of two children and the poisoning of dozens more by Escherichia coli bacteria.
