January 2024 – Notice of “Pea Protein” addition to Maple Lodge Farm’s The Original Chicken Wieners 450g, Zabiha Halal Original Chicken Wieners 450g & Zabiha Halal Corn Dog 1kg
Maple Lodge Farms would like to inform consumers of a change to our existing wiener products.
Maple Lodge Farm’s The Original Chicken Wieners 450g, Zabiha Halal Original Chicken Wieners 450g & Zabiha Halal Corn Dog 1kg will now include Pea Protein as an ingredient on the package’s ingredient list.
Maple Lodge Farms would like to inform consumers that although Pea Protein is not identified as a priority allergen, as defined by Health Canada, it is related to peanuts since they are both part of the legume family. As a result, individuals allergic to legumes like peanuts should be aware of this association and evaluate their own potential personal risk in consuming products containing this ingredient.
Maple Lodge Farms strives to provide accurate and consistent information to all consumers. Accurate labelling and our communication tools are key to informing our consumers about ingredients in our products.
Product formulations can change from time to time. We encourage consumers who are concerned about allergens to always read the ingredient and allergen statement on every package prior to every purchase. For more information, contact us at 1-888-664-4444 or visit our website at maplelodgefarms.com.
