FSANZ have issued a recall for Rafferty’s Garden Organic Baby Rice Cereal, 8 x 10g sachets, best before 17 May 2019.

The recall is due to the presence of undeclared allergens (gluten (oats)).

The recalled products have been available for sale in Coles, Big W and some pharmacies throughout Australia.

Problem: Rafferty’s Garden has been advised that Organic Banana Porridge was incorrectly packed into Rafferty’s Garden Organic Baby Rice Cereal packaging. No other Rafferty’s Garden product or batch is affected by this recall.

Food Safety Hazard: Any consumers who have a gluten (OATS) allergy or intolerance may have a reaction if the product is consumed.

“At Rafferty’s Garden, we take food safety and the safety of our little consumers very seriously. We have been advised that there was an issue at our cereal packer where Rafferty’s Garden Organic Banana Porridge was incorrectly packed into Rafferty’s Garden Organic Baby Rice Cereal packaging.

“We recognise that to some of our little foodies, consumption of oat gluten or banana can cause an issue hence we have initiated a recall of the affected batches. No other Rafferty’s Garden product or batch is affected by this recall.”

Consumers should not eat this product and should return it to the place of purchase for a full cash refund.

  • It is labelled Rice Cereal. You would not expect it to have other grains in it. If you have allergies you have to read the small print on all packaged food now. Even the labels on cereals have to be closely checked as there may be other grains apart from those in the product name.

  • Good to know for those coping with allergies.

  • Thanks for the heads up. This is a serious error and can be devastating for those who have an allergy.

  • Thanks for the heads up. But doesn’t affect me even if it is the incorrect product. My baby doesn’t have any food allergies so she would still be ok to eat it.
