Unilever said in a statement on Tuesday that it has discovered that the ingredients for the Knorr professional brown sauce base were inadvertently added to a small batch of Knorr brown onion gravy packets.
‘As a result, the affected stock contains cow’s milk and soy as allergens, which are not declared on the list of ingredients in the Knorr brown onion gravy packaging,’ Unilever said.
