A food recall has been issued for Gold Coast Baking Company – King Henry’s Bakehouse Rye Bread (900g) after the detection of an undeclared allergen that could pose serious health risks to consumers.
The recall affects all loaves with best-before dates from March 30, 2026, to April 30, 2026, which were distributed across south-east Queensland through major retailers including Coles and independent outlets such as IGA, SPAR, Drakes, and Foodworks.
The product has been found to contain soy, which was not declared on the label. This labeling omission is particularly concerning for individuals with soy allergies or intolerances.
Consumption of the affected bread may lead to allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe reactions, depending on the level of sensitivity.
Consumers with a soy allergy or intolerance are strongly advised not to consume the product. The affected bread should be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Anyone experiencing adverse symptoms after consumption should seek medical advice promptly.
