Coles Express meat pie recalled after labelling blunder

Coles Express is recalling one of its ready-to-eat beef pies following a labelling mix-up.

The supermarket chain took the action after wrappers for the 175-gram Coles Express Big Yum Beef Pie were mistakenly filled with the Coles Express Big Yum Bacon and Egg pie.

The batch number for the affected beef pie is 235/18.

It is sold warm and ready to eat, and has been on sale since September 1 from Coles Express sites throughout Australia.

Coles Express said the beef pie is being recalled out of concern consumers who have an egg allergy or intolerance may experience a reaction if they eat one.

The company said one of its suppliers was responsible for the labelling mix-up.

“Some Coles Express Big Yum Beef Pie products contain the incorrect product, which contains a higher quantity of egg than declared on the label,” the company said in a statement.

Customers can return the product to any Coles Express site for a full refund.

Anyone concerned about their health should seek medical advice.
