Attention Consumers in Ontario and Quebec!

We want to ensure that you stay informed and safe, especially when it comes to food products. Recently, a recall was issued for specific Ulker brand snacks due to undeclared allergens, which can pose serious health risks for those with allergies or intolerances. Here’s what you need to know.

The Affected Products

The following Ulker products have been recalled:

• Kekstra Mini (Strawberry)
• Biskrem Cocoa
• Rulokat

The Issue

The recall is a response to the discovery that these products contain undeclared egg, milk, and wheat. For individuals with allergies or sensitivities to these ingredients, consuming these products can potentially lead to serious or even life-threatening reactions.

Distribution

These products are specifically distributed in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. If you reside in these areas, it is crucial to check your pantry and ensure that you do not have any of the affected items.

What You Should Do

1. Check Your Inventory: Look for the Kekstra Mini (strawberry), Biskrem cocoa, and Rulokat products in your home. If you have them, examine the packaging for any allergen warnings.
2. Do Not Consume: If you have allergies or sensitivities to egg, milk, or wheat, please do not eat these recalled products. The presence of these allergens could trigger a serious reaction.
3. Celiac Disease Awareness: For those who have celiac disease or other gluten-related disorders, it is essential to avoid these products entirely, as hidden gluten could be harmful.
4. Proper Disposal or Returns: If you find any of these products, do not serve, use, or distribute them. We recommend throwing them out or returning them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Stay Safe!

The safety and well-being of consumers are of utmost importance. By taking a moment to assess your pantry and ensuring that you’re not inadvertently consuming these recalled products, you can help protect yourself and your loved ones.

For additional updates and information on recalls, staying informed is key. Regulatory bodies and health organizations often release updates and safety information, so keeping an eye on these resources will help you stay safe.
