Reason: The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) received a notification from the Food Standards Australia New Zealand through the International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN) that the above-mentioned products are being recalled, as they may contain milk, an allergen, but it was not declared on the products' food labels. According to the information provided by INFOSAN, the affected products have been imported into Hong Kong. People who are allergic to milk may have an immunologic response like vomiting, diarrhoea and a rash upon consumption of food containing this allergen. In severe cases, anaphylactic shock may even develop. As for other members of the public, generally speaking, they would not be subject to such reactions when the food in question is consumed.
Consumer action: Consumers who are allergic to milk should not consume the affected batches of the products concerned. Those who feel unwell after consuming any of the products concerned should seek medical treatment.
