Wednesday 25 February 2009

Allergen: Celery, soya and mustard

Ref: I-2009

Product

No other Hebrew branded products are known to be affected.

Risk

Certain date codes of the above products may contain celery, soya and mustard, which are not declared on the label. This makes the products a potential health risk for people who are allergic to these allergens.

Action taken by the company

Vegetarian World has recalled the affected date codes. In addition, the company has also contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will inform their at-risk members of the recall. Notices will be displayed in all stores to alert consumers to the reasons for the recall, and the actions they can take if they have purchased the product(s).
