LGM Hot Chilli Oil recalled nationwide over undeclared peanut allergen - Canberra, ACT
Smart summary
Consumers with peanut allergies are being urged not to consume LGM Hot Chilli Oil 275g after a recall was issued because peanuts were not declared on the product label.
A nationwide food recall has been issued for LGM Hot Chilli Oil 275g after authorities discovered that the product contains peanuts that were not listed on the ingredient or allergen label. The recall was announced to protect consumers who have peanut allergies or intolerances, as eating the product could cause a serious allergic reaction.
Food safety officials warned that undeclared allergens present a significant health risk for people with peanut allergies. Even small amounts of peanuts can trigger severe reactions, including anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening medical emergency that requires immediate treatment.
The affected product was sold through a range of retailers and specialty grocery stores across Australia. Consumers who have purchased the recalled chilli oil are advised to check the product packaging carefully and avoid consuming it if they are allergic or intolerant to peanuts.
Customers with peanut allergies should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. People who have already consumed the product and experience symptoms of an allergic reaction should seek urgent medical attention. Consumers without peanut allergies are not considered to be at risk.
Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) said food recalls involving undeclared allergens are issued because accurate ingredient labels are essential for consumer safety. Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring allergen information is clearly displayed on food packaging before products reach store shelves.
Retailers have been instructed to remove the affected batches from sale while the manufacturer works with food safety authorities to investigate how the labelling error occurred. Additional quality assurance measures may be introduced to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Authorities are encouraging consumers to regularly monitor official food recall notices and check products in their homes to ensure recalled items are not accidentally consumed. The recall serves as a reminder of the importance of accurate food labelling for protecting people living with serious food allergies.
