The affected product was manufactured on 23 March 2022 with an expiry date of 22 September 2023.

According to acting national consumer commissioner Thezi Mabuza, the manufacturer, Unilever South Africa, informed the commission that Knorr Cup-a-Soup regular beef and vegetable instant soup variant sachets were incorrectly packed into the lite beef and vegetable cartons.

Consumers could unknowingly consume the Knorr Cup-a-Soup lite beef and vegetable variant, which unintentionally contains the undeclared wheat and gluten,’ Mabuza said.

Consumers who are allergic to both wheat and gluten are advised not to consume the recalled product as the allergens could trigger a reaction and provoke associated symptoms.
