Food safety alert: Cup noodles and frozen entrees recalled over health concerns
- Replies 3
In the bustling aisles of local Asian grocers, a beloved comfort food, instant cup noodles, faces urgent recalls due to safety concerns.
Meanwhile, a frozen meal range is also in the spotlight for a potentially hazardous issue, prompting another urgent warning.
These once-trusted solutions for quick hunger relief now stand under scrutiny, highlighting the importance of product safety.
Monta Group Holdings Pty Ltd, the distributor of popular big cup noodle curry packets, has issued a grave warning to consumers across New South Wales.
Recent inspections uncovered the presence of an undeclared allergen—peanuts.
This oversight poses a significant risk to those with peanut allergies, who may inadvertently consume the product and suffer severe reactions.
The recall targets products marked with a best-before date of June 19, 2024, which were distributed to independent and Asian grocery stores throughout the region.
In response to this alarming discovery, Food Standards Australia issued an urgent advisory, urging individuals who have purchased the affected cup noodles to take immediate action.
‘Consumers who have a peanut allergy or intolerance should not consume this product,’ the food authority cautioned.
They further recommended that 'Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice, and should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund.’
This concerning revelation comes hot on the heels of another significant recall affecting a range of frozen entree products from the renowned Patties Food Group.
These products, commonly found on the shelves of Coles, Woolworths, and various independent retailers including IGA, were flagged due to a packaging error that could compromise consumer safety.
Food Standards Australia identified a critical packaging discrepancy with three On The Menu Entree products.
‘The recall is due to an error on the packaging. Oven cooking instructions are not compatible with the product tray,’ they announced, adding that this error could potentially lead to tray melting if the provided instructions are followed.
The affected products include the following:
Customers who have purchased these items are urged to return them to the point of purchase for a full refund.
However, it's essential to note that the products are safe for consumption if microwave instructions are followed diligently.
