After it was discovered that the packaging for the 175-gram Coles Express Big Yum Beef pie contained the Coles Express Big Yum Bacon and Egg pie, the supermarket giant pulled the product of its shelves.
The batch number for the affected pie is 235/18.
Having been in stores since September 1, the product is sold ready to eat and is popular amongst those who need a quick bite on the go.
Coles Express said it is recalling the item as they want to avoid any incidents relating to allergies, as those who are intolerant to egg may experience an adverse reaction if the pie is consumed.
The company blames the suppliers and says they were responsible for the mislabelling of the product.
“Some Coles Express Big Yum Beef Pie products contain the incorrect product, which contains a higher quantity of egg than declared on the label,” Coles said in a statement.
If purchased, customers are able to return the item to any Coles Express store for a full refund.
