Truong Ton Group Recalls Vietnamese Sausage Due to Undeclared Wheat Allergen

Truong Ton Group Recalls Vietnamese Sausage Over Undeclared Wheat

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has announced that Truong Ton Group is recalling its Vietnamese Sausage (500 g) because the product contains undeclared wheat. The affected product was sold through Asian grocery stores in Victoria (VIC), Australia.

Consumers with a wheat allergy or intolerance are advised not to consume the product, as the undeclared allergen may cause adverse health reactions.

Reason for the Recall

The recall was initiated because the product contains wheat that is not declared on the product label.

Under Australian food labelling requirements, cereals containing gluten, including wheat, must be clearly declared on food labels. Failure to identify allergens can expose sensitive consumers to avoidable health risks and is a common reason for food recalls.

Health Risk

Individuals with a wheat allergy or wheat intolerance may experience adverse reactions if they consume the recalled sausage.

For people with a wheat allergy, symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include:

  • Skin rash or hives
  • Swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Abdominal pain
  • Vomiting
  • Anaphylaxis in severe cases

People with medically diagnosed wheat-related conditions should avoid consuming products containing undeclared wheat.

Distribution

The recalled product was available for sale at Asian grocery stores throughout Victoria (VIC), Australia.

What Consumers Should Do

Consumers who have a wheat allergy or intolerance should:

  • Do not consume the recalled product.
  • Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
  • Seek medical advice if they experience symptoms after consuming the product.

Consumers without a wheat allergy or intolerance are not expected to be affected by this recall.

Why Accurate Allergen Labelling Matters

Food allergens remain one of the leading causes of food recalls worldwide. Accurate ingredient declarations enable consumers with food allergies or intolerances to make safe purchasing decisions.

Manufacturers are expected to implement robust allergen management systems, including:

  • Ingredient verification
  • Supplier approval and specification review
  • Label verification procedures
  • Packaging controls
  • Final product release checks
  • Staff training on allergen management

These preventive controls help minimize the risk of undeclared allergens reaching the marketplace.
