Beef flavoured MAGGI Super Noodles which come in a cup contain WHEAT, PEANUT and SOY.

Chicken flavoured MAGGI Super Noodles which come in a cup contain WHEAT, BARLEY, SOY and EGG.

Beef flavoured MAGGI 98% Fat Free Super Noodles which come in a cup contain WHEAT, PEANUT, SOY, MILK and SULPHITES.

Chicken flavoured MAGGI 98% Fat Free Super Noodles which come in a cup contain WHEAT, SOY, EGG, MILK and SULPHITES.

It is important to note that the ingredients in MAGGI 2-minute Noodles (sold in a bag or as a multi pack) are different from those in the MAGGI Super Noodles in a cup.

AAI reminds allergic consumers to always read the ingredient list of products purchased due to changes in recipes. If a food pack looks different, be even more careful about reading the ingredient list before consuming the product.

Peanut Alert

Food Product: Hazelnut Praline with Rich Vanilla Cream Bar
Brand Name: Weis
Pack Description: 
Use By / Lot Description: 
Distribution: 
APN / Batch Code etc: 
Reason for Recall: Weis Australia Pty Ltd has contacted Anaphylaxis Australia Inc about the new Hazelnut Praline with Rich Vanilla Cream Bar. Packaging for this new product which was launched on September 24th 2007 had been completed with a voluntary warning statement on the side of the pack stating " May contain traces of other tree nuts." Weis were later made aware (by their ingredient supplier) that there are peanuts processed on the same equipment as the Hazelnut Praline pieces. The ingredient supplier does have a peanut allergen management system in place including a full cleaning regime and regular testing of the product and equipment to ensure the absence of peanut residues. After reviewing this issue, Weis have, as a precautionary measure, proceeded to pack Hazelnut Praline product with an additional warning statement located on the top flap of the carton alongside the Best Before date. This statement reads as "Peanuts may be present". Please note, it is not located next to the tree nut allergen statement at this time but steps will be taken to ensure that the next labels printed will have all the allergy information in one place under the ingredient list. This product is being sold as a 4 pack carton in all major supermarkets across Australia.
Company Responsible: Weis Australia Pty Ltd
For Recall Information: Consumers wanting to know more on Hazelnut Praline or any other Weis product can call Weis Australia on 1800 801 414

Reason for Recall: The Vege Chip Company Pty Ltd is expanding its recent consumer level recall of Vege Chip products due to the possibility that other varieties may also contain gluten. Some of the above products may have an incorrect gluten free claim on the label. The company initiated testing of all its products and found that whilst some varieties are gluten free some varieties contain a very low level of gluten (between 20 - 80 parts per million). Most people with a gluten intolerance can tolerate this low level of gluten and could consume these products. However, those who are extremely sensitive to low levels of gluten or have a gluten allergy should not consume these products.
