If you’ve recently stocked up on Allen’s lollies, you might want to check the packet before diving in.
A nationwide recall has been issued for a popular Allen’s product after concerns were raised about possible plastic contamination. The affected lolly has been sold across Australia, including major supermarkets and convenience stores.
Which Lolly Is Affected?
The recall applies to Allen’s iNSiDE OUTS 130g packs.
According to Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), the product has been recalled due to the possible presence of foreign matter, specifically plastic. The watchdog warned that consuming food containing plastic could potentially cause illness or injury.
What Should You Do?
Anyone who has purchased the affected product is being advised not to eat it.
Instead, consumers should return the lolly to the place of purchase for a full refund. If you’ve already eaten some and have concerns about your health, it’s recommended you seek medical advice.
Another Reminder To Check Your Pantry
Food recalls happen more often than many Australians realise, with products occasionally being pulled from shelves due to contamination, labelling issues, or safety concerns.
While this recall is precautionary, it’s a good reminder to keep an eye on food safety alerts, especially for products that might already be sitting in the cupboard waiting for a movie night snack.
