Tomato Paste recalled

Coles has had to recall two of its Tomato Paste products because they contain undeclared soy and could spark an allergic reaction in those susceptible.
They are Coles Tomato Paste 170g and Coles Tomato Paste 500g (white label) which have been sold at Coles supermarkets, Coles Local and online.
As the products have been sold in Coles stores nationally from July 2021 the recall includes products with the best before dates from the past 12 months.
Customers who have a soy allergy or intolerance may have a reaction if they consume the tomato paste.
Anyone who is allergic or intolerant should not eat these products and instead return them to their place of purchase for a full refund.
Online customers can receive a full refund or credit by contacting Coles Online Customer Care on 1800 455 400.
Coles has apologised for any inconvenience.
