Distribution

The recall is directed at the retail level, meaning retailers and other businesses handling the product should ensure that the affected product is removed from sale and is not served or distributed.

What should consumers do?

Consumers should not use or consume the affected product, particularly anyone with an egg allergy or sensitivity.

Retailers and food businesses should:

• Do not sell the affected product.
• Do not serve it to customers.
• Do not distribute the recalled product.
• Remove the affected product from sale and follow applicable recall procedures.

Consumers who have purchased the product should check the brand, product name, package size, UPC, lot number and Best Before date to determine whether it is affected.

Why is this recall important?
