A viral product taking the internet by storm is urgently being recalled due to an undeclared allergen.
New Zealand Food Safety (NZFS) said it is supporting ANZ Pharma Wholesalers to recall the Fruitae brand lemon-flavoured sorbet because of the presence of undeclared milk.
All batches and all datesof Fruitae brand Lemon Sorbet (75g) are affected by this recall, the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) said.
“The concern with this product is that milk allergies can be life-threatening for some people, causing anaphylaxis in severe cases.”
The affected product is imported and sold at supermarkets nationwide.
MPI said the product had been removed from store shelves.

“If you have bought any of the affected product and have it at home, do not consume it. It can be returned to the place of purchase for a refund. Should you be unable to do this, throw it out.
“If you have consumed any of this product and are concerned for your health, contact your health professional, or call Healthline on 0800 611 116 for free advice,” MPI said.
New Zealand Food Safety received a notification of the associated allergic reaction.
“As is our usual practice, NZFS will be working with ANZ Pharma Wholesalers Ltd to understand how the issue occurred and prevent its recurrence,” deputy director-general for New Zealand Food Safety, Vincent Arbuckle, said.
