Several McCain frozen products have been recalled from supermarkets and Australians have been asked to return them due to possible chemical contamination.
Products include: McCain Aloo Tikki 400g and 1.5kg, McCain Chilli Garlic Potato Pops 1.5kg, McCain Chilli Garlic Potato Bites 420g, McCain Masala Fries 420g and 1.5kg, McCain Popular Veggie Burger 1.2kg Patty, 360g McCain Veggie Burger Patty, 400g McCain Veggie Fingers and 325g McCain Veggie Nuggets.
According to Food Standards Australia and New Zealand, the products were sold at Indian grocery stores in NSW, ACT, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia.
The recall affects products with an expiration date up to and including August 22, 2025.
The products are urgently recalled because they are potentially contaminated by ethylene oxide.
“Food products containing ethylene oxide may cause illness/injury if consumed,” Food Standards Australia and New Zealand said in its recall notice.
Consumers are asked not to eat the product and to return it to the place where they purchased it for a refund.
“All concerned consumers should consult a doctor,” Food Standards Australia and New Zealand said.
