Woolworths Ltd (ASX:WOW) and supplier Cenvil Ltd are recalling packets of Homebrand frozen lemon flavoured crumbed fish in New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory and Queensland following a potential product safety issue.

Woolworths said the soy flour, which is an ingredient in the batter of this product, may have been cross contaminated with peanuts during its manufacturing process.

"As a result, there is a possibility that the fish batter may contain traces of peanuts which are not listed as an ingredient on the label.

"The product may pose a health risk to consumers who are allergic or intolerant to peanuts. Consumers who have a peanut allergy or intolerance should not consume this product. Consumers who are not allergic to peanuts may safely consume this product," the supermarket said.

Woolworths said it is not aware of any injuries or illnesses associated with this issue, but any customer who may have this product should return it to their nearest Woolworths/Food For Less /Flemings Supermarket for a full refund.

Potentially affected products were sold between November 2010 and 11 January 2011 and have a best before date between 17 February 2012 to 23 March 2012.

Woolworths apologises to customers for any inconvenience caused by this recall, the supermarket said.
