ALDI has asked its customers to take care after the supermarket recalled a popular product due to an “undeclared allergen”.
Back to Basics Green Curry Kale Chips 60g, available at ALDI stores across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia, and South Australia, contain a nut allergen without any warnings on the packet.
“Any consumers who have a cashew allergy or intolerance may have a reaction if the product is consumed,” Food Standards Australia and New Zealand wrote on its website.
The company that distributes the product, DJ&A Pty Ltd, said the recall was applicable to packets of kale chips with a Best Before date of 14/02/2022, 15/02/2022, and 30/03/2022.
“Consumers who have a cashew allergy or intolerance should not consume this product and should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.”
The popular chips are available in three flavours: Honey Mustard Kale Chips, Vegan Cheese Kale Chips, and Green Curry Kale Chips.
But, the recall only applies to the Green Curry flavour.
ALDI has since removed the product from its shelves and is offering customers a refund if they return the product.
“On rare occasions, questions regarding a product’s quality, safety or errors in packaging or shipment do arise in the retail world,” the German retailer said on its website.
“ALDI has a plan to swiftly and effectively remove such products from the store.
“Any product that does not meet the government’s and our own standards in any of these areas will be efficiently removed from sale and we will notify customers via a Product Recall alert.”
