Australia: Crispbic Wafer Bics Recall
A well-liked wafer biscuit that was marketed across the country has been promptly recalled. After it was determined that the wafers contain both gluten and wheat, authorities raced to remove them from shelves across the nation.
Crispbic Wafer Bics Original Gluten Free 100g are being recalled by Fine Food Holdings Pty Ltd. The product has been sold at food retailers like IGA in NSW, ACT, QLD, VIC, and SA.
Best before: 28 march 2023
The recall is the result of improper packaging, which led to the presence of hidden allergens like wheat and gluten. Although the product inside is Crispbic Wafer Bics Original 100g, the box is for Crispbic Wafer Bics Original Gluten Free 100g which contains wheat and gluten.
Anyone who consumes the product and has wheat or gluten allergy or sensitivity may experience a reaction.
Wheat allergy:
An allergic reaction brought on by consuming wheat-containing foods is known as a wheat allergy. If you have a wheat allergy, consuming wheat may cause you to experience a number of symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, a rash, wheezing, and swelling. You might experience anaphylaxis, a potentially fatal allergic reaction, under extreme circumstances.
Gluten allergy:
An immunological response to consuming the protein gluten, which is present in wheat, barley, and rye. The immunological response to ingesting gluten causes inflammation over time, which harms the lining of the small intestine and can result in health issues.
Consumer advice:
Consumers who are allergic to or intolerant to wheat or gluten should not consume this product and should instead return it to the store where they made their purchase for a full refund.
