Tejal SomvanshiA popular snack commonly grabbed by tradies and travelers at service stations across Australia has been recalled due to serious allergen concerns. Patties Food Group’s “On the Menu Roast Chicken Roll” (184g) contains undeclared peanuts and crustaceans that could trigger dangerous allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
The Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) issued the recall notice on March 12, 2025, specifically identifying products with the batch code “5030 P” printed on the wrap. This code serves as a traceability date since the product doesn’t include traditional Best Before or Use By information.
The chicken rolls were sold nationally through petrol stations and convenience stores, making this recall particularly concerning given their widespread availability and popularity.
“Any consumers who have a peanut and/or crustacean allergy or intolerance may have a reaction if the product is consumed,” warns the official FSANZ alert.

This incident highlights a concerning pattern in food safety. Allergen mislabeling accounts for a significant portion of food recalls each year, with allergen-related recalls representing a substantial percentage of food safety alerts in Australia.
