ZB Importing Issues Voluntary Recall on Ulker Brand Products
In a recent announcement, ZB Importing LLC has voluntarily recalled select lots of
Ulker Brand snack rolls, biscuits, and wafers due to the discovery of undeclared allergens. The recall affects six specific product varieties that may contain wheat, egg, and/or milk not listed in the ingredient statement. This oversight poses a significant risk for individuals with allergies or severe sensitivities to these ingredients, as consumption could lead to serious or even life-threatening allergic reactions.
Overview of the Products Affected
Consumers should be aware that the recalled products include popular
Ulker snacks, specifically:
1.
Ulker Kekstra Mini with Strawberry
2.
Ulker Rulokat Hazelnut Wafers
3.
Ulker Dankek Roll Cake with Strawberry
4.
Ulker Biskrem with Cocoa Biscuit
5.
Ulker Dankek Roll Cake with Chocolate
6.
Ulker Dankek Roll Cake with Banana
These products were widely distributed in retail outlets throughout
Ontario, Canada, and various states across the
USA, including
Alabama, California, Florida, and
New York, among others. The alert issued by ZB Importing comes after a single consumer complaint regarding an allergic reaction, resulting from the mislabeling of these items.
Cause of the Recall
The mislabeling issue was attributed to an error made by a supplier, who mistakenly omitted key allergen information while translating the ingredient lists into English. In response to the incident, ZB Importing is working closely with the supplier to enhance their labeling process. The company plans to implement stricter measures, such as a more rigorous verification process for multilingual labels, to prevent such occurrences in the future.
What Consumers Should Do
For customers who have purchased any of the aforementioned
Ulker snacks, it's crucial to take immediate action. ZB Importing urges consumers to return the affected products to their place of purchase for a full refund.
