- Replies 4
Wine aficionados, particularly those with a penchant for a robust Shiraz, take heed: a recall has been issued that may affect your cellar collection and, more importantly, your health.
It comes after a concerning discovery that prompted immediate action to ensure consumer safety.
This precautionary measure highlights the importance of checking product labels and staying informed about potential allergens in food and beverages.
Brand New Vintage, a South Australian wine company, has announced a recall of its Journeyman Shiraz 2021 due to an undeclared allergen—sulphites—which could pose a serious risk to those with allergies or intolerances.
The recall was initiated by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), an authoritative body that oversees food safety and regulations in Australia and New Zealand.
FSANZ has classified this as a ‘food safety hazard’, emphasising the potential danger to consumers.
‘Any consumers who have a sulphites allergy or intolerance may have a reaction if the product is consumed,’ the recall stated.
‘Consumers who have a sulphites allergy or intolerance should not consume this product.’
Consumers who have purchased this wine should return the bottle to the place of purchase for a full refund.
‘Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice,’ the recall continued.
The wine in question was distributed across various states, being sold at Celebrations, Bottle O, and independent retailers including IGA Liquor in NSW, QLD, VIC, SA, and WA.
In the meantime, Brand New Vintage is reachable for further information and guidance on the recall process.
Customers can contact the company directly at [email protected] for further information about this recall.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of accurate labelling and the vigilance required by consumers, especially those with dietary restrictions or allergies.
It also highlights the responsibilities of producers and retailers to ensure that all products meet the stringent standards set by food safety authorities.
