Woolworths Recalls Its Chicken Viennas
Woolworths Recalls Its Chicken Viennas. Woolworths is recalling Woolworths Smoked Chicken Viennas, Cocktail Chicken Viennas and Halaal Smoked Chicken Viennas with the sell by date 27 May 2023 with immediate effect.
Woolworths, along with its suppliers, proactively manage and prevent contamination of food, and through routine quality control tests it discovered a fault in a production line, which resulted in cross-contamination of milk protein between Chicken Viennas and Chicken and Cheese Viennas.
While the cheese may not be obvious through taste or visible in the product, the company is removing all the products from its shelves. Customers who have an allergy to cow’s milk may experience an adverse reaction to trace amounts of milk protein. The company’s Chicken Viennas with the sell by date 27 May 2023 are produced in four variants, outlined below, and are sold in two countries; South Africa and Botswana.
