New Zealand Food Safety is supporting Foodstuffs Own Brands in its recall of Pams Beef Lasagne due to the product being labelled with the incorrect use-by date.
New Zealand Food Safety deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle said that the concern with this lasagna is that the use-by date is incorrect by two months.
It should have been the 1st of March 2026, which is this Sunday, but instead it is incorrectly labelled as the 1st of May. These products should not be eaten after Sunday.
Customers can return them to the place of purchase for a refund. If that’s not possible, they must throw them out.
The affected Pams Beef Lasagne (1.3 kg) with a use-by date of 01 MAY 26 is sold at Four Square, New World, and Pak’n Save supermarkets in the North Island.
The products were imported from Australia and labelled in New Zealand. The products have not been re-exported. They have been removed from stores.
"As is our usual practice, New Zealand Food Safety will work with Foodstuffs Own Brands to understand how the date mark labelling error occurred and prevent its recurrence," said Arbuckle.
