Back Country Cuisine Issues Recall for Bolognaise Meals Due to Egg Allergen

A recall has been issued for specific freeze-dried bolognaise meals produced by Back Country Cuisine due to the undeclared presence of egg, a known allergen. The announcement came from the Ministry for Primary Industries, which highlighted the potential health risks associated with these products.

The affected items include the 90g and 175g mushroom bolognaise pouches, as well as 90g, 175g, and 440g spaghetti bolognaise pouches. All products have best before dates ranging from April 7, 2029, to September 29, 2029. Consumers are advised to verify their product packaging to ensure safety.

Individuals with an egg allergy or intolerance are urged not to consume these meals. The recall notice emphasizes the importance of seeking medical advice for anyone who may have consumed the affected products and experiences health concerns. For those without such allergies, the products are deemed safe for consumption, and the recall does not affect them.

Back Country Foods Ltd has taken this precautionary measure to ensure consumer safety, reflecting a commitment to quality and transparency in food production. The company encourages customers to return the products to the point of purchase for a full refund.

As food safety remains a critical concern, this incident serves as a reminder for consumers to always check labels for allergen information, particularly when purchasing packaged meals.
