Tasti products recalled over fear they contain small metal pieces.
An urgent recall of more than 20 popular Tasti brand snack products has been extended by health authorities.
Snack products from the Auckland-based food producer were recalled at the weekend due to concerns over the potential presence of small metal pieces.
Today that recall was updated to include additional batch numbers.
Some of the popular lunchbox staples included in the mass recall are snack bars, chopped nuts and Frooze Balls.
New Zealand Food Safety (NZFS) said it was supporting Tasti Products in a significant recall of a range of Tasti-brand bars, peanuts and snack ball products. The products are sold at supermarkets and retailers throughout the country and some of the products have been exported to Australia.
Not all batches and flavours have been affected, so consumers were asked to check the information on the recall page carefully. Implicated products have been removed from shelves.
Tasti said that their food safety systems identified the potential presence of “exceptionally thin metal wire originating from imported raw materials”.
“The safety of our customers is our top priority so we have recalled some of the products in specific ranges and are advising customers to dispose of the product.”
NZFS deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle said the concern with these products was that they could cause injury.
There have been no reports of associated injury, however, affected product should not be eaten.
Anyone who had eaten any of the products and had concerns about their health were advised to seek medical advice.
Customers were able to get a refund on their purchase by contacting tasti@tasti.co.nz with a photo of the product and best before date for a replacement voucher.
