New Zealand Food Safety (NZFS) has supported The Little Bone Broth Company in recalling all batches and dates of its bone broths.
This action has been taken due to incomplete information on its food process controls.
"The concern with these broths is that the company has produced them without having complete information on its food process controls. This means incomplete evidence of food safety hazards being correctly managed," said NZFS deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle.
"Although there have been no reports of related illness, we are taking this precautionary approach because broth produced without the necessary food safety measures could make people sick."
The product range includes:
Premium Free Range Chicken Broth 500ml
Premium Grass Fed Beef Broth 500ml
Premium Free Range Chicken Green Thai Curry Broth 500ml
All batches and all dates.
The products are sold in a 500ml stand-up pouch with a spout.
The products are sold at Fresh Choice, New World and Pak’n Save supermarkets, and retail outlets throughout New Zealand.
The products are sold via their online website and have not been exported.
"These products should not be eaten. You can return them to the place of purchase for a refund. If that’s not possible, throw them out."
The broths are sold at selected supermarkets and retailers throughout New Zealand.
The Little Bone Broth Company brands Premium Free-Range Chicken Green Thai Curry Broth, Premium Free-Range Chicken Broth, and Premium Grass-Fed Beef Broth.
If you have consumed any of these products and are concerned for your health, contact your health professional or call Healthline on 0800 61 11 16 for free advice.
The products have been removed from store shelves and have not been exported.
"As usual, NZFS will work with The Little Bone Broth Company to prevent this problem from recurring.”
