Mr Chen's Szechuan Chilli Oil, a widely available condiment in Woolworths stores, has been urgently recalled due to the presence of an undeclared peanut allergen. Food Standards Australia issued the alert, prompting the removal of the product from all national store locations.
The recall specifically affects jars with best-before dates of 04/12/2026, 07/04/2027, and 11/12/2027. The product label failed to declare peanut as an ingredient, posing a significant risk to consumers with peanut allergies or intolerances. These individuals are advised not to consume the chilli oil to avoid potential reactions.
Customers who purchased the affected product are advised to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice.
