Supermarket giant Woolworths has been forced to remove packs of their chocolate eclairs from their shelves after being informed by a customer that they were incorrectly labelled and could actually harm people with allergies.
Confirming that a batch of their 300 gram homebrand packs of choc eclairs, which went on sale from July 2011, did not contain any warnings, despite potentially containing peanuts or gluten a Woolworths spokesman said:
'We were notified about the issue by a customer, however that customer did not have a significant adverse reaction to the product'.
The supermarket powerhouse has issued an immediate nationwide recall of the product as well as a stark warning to anyone with an allergy to peanuts or gluten to avoid buying them.
'Consumers who are not allergic to peanuts or gluten may safely consume this product,' the spokesman added.
