Urgent recall issued for Pete Evans product
Pete Evans “healthy” simmer sauce has been urgently recalled over fears it could trigger an allergic reaction.
The $5 item - Pete Evans Healthy Everyday Jamaican Simmer Sauce 330g - which can be purchased from various different food stores around the country, has been recalled over undeclared allergens.
“Thai Green Curry Sauce 330g has been labelled incorrectly as Jamaican Simmer Sauce 330g which has resulted in the presence of fish (an undeclared allergen)”, Food Standards Australia and New Zealand stated in a media release issued Wednesday.
The health authority issued a warning to anyone who suffers from a fish allergy or intolerance that they may have a reaction if the product is consumed.
“Consumers who have a seafood allergy or intolerance should not consume this product,” it stated.
“Customers should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.”
In the product description on the Coles website Evans says: “My Sauces are full of flavour and healthy wholefood ingredient. Bursting with essential nutrients, they are ideal for families looking to spend more time at the dinner table and less time in the kitchen.”
The recall applies to the product with a best before date of July 10, 2022.
