Coles Easter Eggs recall after undeclared tree nuts found

Undeclared tree nuts have been found in Coles Easter Eggs (12 pack in plastic egg crate with various coloured foils), leading Coles Supermarkets to issue an Australia-wide recall of the product.

The recall was issued after a child experienced a mild allergic reaction on Monday, and Coles and Anaphylaxis Australia were immediately notified.

Yesterday Coles withdrew the product from sale, and issued a tree nut alert for the batch with a best before of 31 January, 2015.

It’s not the first recall from the company responsible, Heritage chocolates.

In April 2012, Heritage recalled Heritage Belgian Milk Chocolate Egg with Exquisite Chocolate Truffles from Coles Supermarkets nationally due to undeclared almond, hazelnut and gluten allergens.

Allergy and Anaphylaxis Australia has urged that the tree nut alert be shared with preschools and schools who may have purchased the product for Easter egg hunts.
