Two popular non-dairy milk products are being pulled from the shelves of Woolworths stores.
The supermarket giant issued an urgent recall for the Woolworths Macro Certified Organic Unsweetened Coconut Milk (1L) and Woolworths Macro Certified Organic Naturally Sweet Rice Milk (1L) after an undeclared allergen, milk, was detected in them.
It was said that bottles of the Macro Certified Organic Unsweetened Coconut Milk 1L were exclusively retailed at Woolworths stores in Victoria, while Macro Certified Organic Naturally Sweet Rice Milk 1L was made available for purchase at Woolworths stores in NSW and Queensland.

Food Standards Australia warned customers who suspect to have purchased the product to carefully read its label and check if it's part of the batch that was being recalled, informing consumers of the possible reactions they would incur if they ingest the products.
The group said: “The recall is due to the presence of an undeclared allergen (milk).”
“Any consumers who have a milk allergy or intolerance may have a reaction if the product is consumed."
“Consumers who have a milk allergy or intolerance should not consume this product and should return it to their nearest Woolworths Supermarket or Metro Stores for a full refund."
“Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice.”
