Roxburgh's famous Jimmy's Pies recalled

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Ministry for Primary Industries has issued a recall for some batches of Jimmy's Pies after a man had an allergic reaction and needed to be resuscitated.

The notice says Jimmy's Pies Ltd is recalling specific batches of its Jimmy's brand mince pie and its mince and cheese pie because of the presence of an undeclared ingredient: monosodium glutamate (MSG).

The company had been contacted by a man's wife after he had an allergic reaction after eating a pie and had to be resuscitated after it caused breath issues about two weeks ago. "Everything is OK. He is OK."

The affected batches are all numbers up to 8250, and batches after 8253 are not affected by the recall.

The ministry statement says: "If you have consumed this product and have any concerns about your health, seek medical advice. If you are not allergic or intolerant to MSG, this recall does not affect you." Read more here
