Milpitas, California-based New India Bazar has recalled 2,400 packets of Maggi 2-Minute Noodles, 280g, and 1,200 packets of Maggie 2-Minute Noodles, 560g, due to the potential presence of peanut, a major allergen not listed on the product’s ingredient list.
Individuals who live with an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts are warned that they could undergo a major, life-threatening allergic reaction from consuming the products.

Affected 280-gram packages bear an expiration date of December 2023, and affected 560-gram packages are printed with a January 2024 expiration date. The recall covers products under lot codes 31159939CA and 4354M56.
Officials took action after learning that the peanut-containing product was distributed in packaging that does not declare the allergen as an ingredient.
While the company has not received any reports of illness in connection to the problem, anyone who may have purchased an affected Maggie 2-Minute Noodles package is encouraged to take it back to the point of purchase to receive a total refund.
