Several snack products, including Ny.Siok Shrimp Crackers and ZMC Bangka Getas Fish Crackers, have been recalled across British Columbia due to the presence of undeclared egg, a major food allergen. Consumers with an egg allergy are urged to check their pantry and avoid consumption of the affected products, which could cause severe or life-threatening allergic reactions.

These products are being pulled from shelves due to undeclared egg content not listed on their ingredient labels.
Why This Matters:
Egg is one of the priority food allergens, and undeclared allergens pose a serious health risk. Even small traces can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals. Reactions may range from mild skin irritations to anaphylaxis, a rapid-onset and potentially fatal allergic response.
Symptoms of Egg Allergy Include:
Hives, eczema or skin redness
Swelling of lips, face, or throat
Digestive distress (nausea, cramps, vomiting)
Respiratory problems (wheezing, nasal congestion)
Anaphylaxis (difficulty breathing, drop in blood pressure, dizziness)
Immediate medical attention is required in severe cases. Children are particularly vulnerable, but adults can develop egg allergies at any age.
Consumer Action:
Anyone allergic or sensitive to eggs should not consume, use, sell, or serve these recalled products. Discard them safely or return them to the store of purchase. Retailers should also ensure they are removed from sale.
For those unaffected by egg allergy, the products do not pose a general safety risk—but clear labelling is essential to protect vulnerable consumers.
