Soy added to the Precautionary Allergen Labelling (PAL) statement on Weet-Bix™ Little Kids Essentials
This is an important announcement regarding Weet-Bix™ Little Kids Essentials for those who may be sensitive to or allergic to soy.
The allergen status of the Weet-Bix™ Little Kids Essentials product has been updated to reflect a new risk of cross contact with soy.
The product label now includes the allergen statement “May contain: lupin, soy”. The previous allergen statement was “May contain: lupin”. The updated allergen status is a result of introducing a new ingredient containing soy into another product made on a nearby production line.
Look for the yellow allergen alert label on packs arriving in Australian supermarkets from March 2026.
There may be some cross-over time during which both products with and without may contain soy allergen labelling are on shelves.
Allergen alert flashes have been included on front and side of pack for all products that may contain this new allergen to help consumers identify this change:
