Family Select Sorbet Recalled Over Undeclared Milk Allergen Concerns
A popular summer treat has been urgently recalled after health authorities discovered an undeclared allergen in the product. Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) has issued a recall for Family Select's frozen sorbet, specifically targeting the mango, strawberry, and lychee flavours.
Details of the Recalled Product
The affected sorbets come in 75g servings and are designed to mimic the appearance of the actual fruits. The recall includes all units with best before dates up to and including June 22, 2027. According to FSANZ, the recall was initiated due to the presence of an undeclared allergen—milk—which poses a significant health risk to consumers with milk allergies or intolerances.
Consumers who have a milk allergy or intolerance may experience adverse reactions if they consume this product, FSANZ warned in an official statement. The agency emphasised that anyone with such conditions should avoid the sorbet entirely to prevent potential health complications.
Where the Product Was Sold
The recalled Family Select sorbets have been available for purchase at Spudshed locations in Western Australia and through various online platforms. FSANZ has advised customers to return the products to their place of purchase to receive a full refund. Additionally, the agency recommends that any individuals concerned about their health should seek immediate medical advice.
This recall highlights the importance of accurate food labelling and the ongoing efforts by regulatory bodies to protect public health in Australia. Consumers are urged to check their freezers and dispose of or return any affected sorbets promptly to ensure safety.
