McCain recalls nuggets, patties, and fries due to toxic gas discovery.
Attention all shoppers! It has come to our attention that a range of McCain frozen products may have been contaminated with a poisonous gas. This includes popular items such as veggie nuggets, burger patties, potato bites, and fries. We are taking urgent action to recall these products and ensure the safety of our valued customers.

For your convenience, we have provided a full list of the recalled McCain products below. These items have been imported from overseas and have been sold in Indian grocery stores across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, and the ACT. We understand that this may cause concern for those who have already purchased these products, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

It is important to note that these products may contain ethylene oxide, a colourless and flammable gas. In high concentrations, this gas can cause respiratory irritation, lung injury, nausea, diarrhea, and shortness of breath. While ethylene oxide was previously used as a pesticide on crops in Australia, it was banned in 2003 due to evidence linking long-term exposure to an increased risk of cancer. However, it is still used in other countries.

We want to ensure the safety and well-being of our customers, and therefore we urge anyone who has purchased these McCain products to refrain from consuming them. Instead, please return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
