Vegetarian Chicken recalled for containing egg

Australian distributor of Asian food products Ettason Pty Ltd has recalled Whole Perfect – Vegetarian Chicken Cubes 600g and Vegetarian Chicken Nugget 600g from Asian supermarkets across Australia (excluding WA and NT) due to the presence of an undeclared allergen (egg).

The products are a vegetarian soy chicken product. Company has advised that any consumers who have an egg allergy or intolerance may have a reaction if the product is consumed. Consumers who have an egg allergy or intolerance should not consume this product and should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Ettason was founded by Managing Director Quoc Lam in 1984. Observing an increased demand in Australia for more variety of Asian Foods and realising a gap between demand and supply, Mr Lam grasped the opportunity to establish himself as a supplier and one-stop shop for Asian Foods. Ettason secured distribution rights to powerful brands from all over Asia and the Company became one of Australia’s major Asian Fine Foods distributors.

Today Ettason has a portfolio of brand that is recognized across Asia Pacific, Europe and America. Brand development has become critical to our business in Australia and has catapulted the Ettason name into Asia.
