Supply Issues Weetabix Porridge Oats AEB845 (ICN 3509)

Change:

• The supplier Weetabix has informed us of a supply issue with its Ready brek instant oats.
• There is one product affected:
  • AEB845 − Cereal breakfast Oats instant high fibre 750g.
• The supply disruption is due to Weetabix issuing a Field Safety Notice regarding specific batches of Ready brek.
• As a precautionary measure, Weetabix Food Company is recalling affected products due to the possible presence of flour beetle.
• See our Useful Links section to see ICN 3505 for more information on the product recall.

Impact:

• AEB845 is currently suspended and unavailable to order.
• A potential indirect alternative product is available to order through our online catalogue:
  • AEB189 – Porridge oats 3kg.
• See our Downloads ▼ section to access the product listing for further information on the affected product code and potential alternative.
• The supplier has not advised when the affected product is likely to be available.

 Next Steps:

• Customers are advised to log into our website to view the product listing for further information on the affected product and potential alternative.
• Customers may need to consider the brand, pack size and potential cost of the indirect alternative.
