Retailer Co-op recalled its Breaded Cod Fillets after some packs were incorrectly packaged with battered fillets containing mustard and milk, which were not mentioned on the label.
The presence of mustard and milk made the product a possible health risk to consumers with an allergy or intolerance to the ingredients.
Cod fillets with a use-by date of 2 April 2018 and a pack size of 270g were included in the recall. Customers can return the product to the store it was bought from to receive a full refund.
Co-op apologised for the inconvenience it caused for its customers.
Possible health risk
Interlink Direct has recalled CEBU Dried Mangoes because they contained sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites which were not mentioned on the label, making them a possible health risk to consumers with a sensitivity to the preservatives.
The recall applied to 100g packs of the products with a best-before date of 9 August 2019. Consumers who have bought the product were advised to return it to the store it was purchased from to receive a full refund.
Last week also saw SA Wholesale issue a recall for four flavours of Robertson Rajah Curry Powder, because they contained celery and mustard that was not mentioned on the product labels.
Products recalled included all date codes and batch codes for Hot, Medium, Mild & Spicy and All in One with Garlic flavours. All products had a 100g pack size.
Celery or mustard intolerance
The powders posed a possible health risk to consumers with an allergy or intolerance to celery or mustard. Anyone who might have purchased the products were advised to return them to the store they were bought from to receive a refund.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, a possible insect infestation sparked the recall of packs of rice from London-based food supplier Aytac Foods.
