Meal kit company Goodfood has recalled two of its meal kit products after they were found to contain undeclared allergens, prompting a food safety warning for consumers.
The recall was issued because the affected products may contain ingredients that are not listed on the label, posing a potential health risk to individuals with food allergies or sensitivities. Consumers who are allergic to the undeclared ingredients are advised not to consume the products.
Health officials warned that eating food containing undeclared allergens can cause serious or life-threatening allergic reactions in some individuals. Customers are encouraged to check their meal kits carefully and follow the recall notice if they have purchased the affected products.
Consumers should either dispose of the recalled meal kits or return them to the place of purchase for a refund, according to the recall advisory. Those who have consumed the products and experience symptoms of an allergic reaction are urged to seek immediate medical attention.
Goodfood said it is cooperating with the recall process and is working to ensure affected products are removed from the marketplace. The company is also reviewing its production and labeling procedures to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
The recall serves as a reminder for consumers with food allergies to always review product labels and stay informed about food safety notices issued by health authorities.
