Taiwanese Oversea Trading Pty Ltd has announced a recall of its Orion Moguli Biscuit (Hazelnut & Chocolate Flavour), 48 g after discovering that some units contain undeclared peanut, posing a serious risk to consumers with peanut allergies. The product has been sold in Asian grocery stores across Victoria (VIC). The recall applies only to packs that fail to list peanut as an ingredient.
The consumption of undeclared peanut by individuals who are allergic can lead to reactions that range from mild to potentially life-threatening. Symptoms may include:
People with peanut allergies are highly sensitive, and even trace amounts can trigger a reaction. Because the allergen is not declared on the label, consumers may unknowingly ingest the product, increasing the risk of accidental exposure.
Anyone experiencing symptoms after consuming the product should seek immediate medical attention.
Consumers with a peanut allergy or intolerance should not consume the affected product. It can be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Those with health concerns following consumption should consult a medical professional promptly.
