New Zealand Food Safety has supported Epicurean Dairy Ltd in its recall of specific batches of its The Collective brand Suckies Strawberry Probiotic Yoghurt, as the product may contain foreign matter (black plastic).
The Collective brand Suckies Strawberry Probiotic Yoghurt sold in a four-pack (4 x 100g) with batch numbers 32280 T2 or 32280 T3 and a best-before date of 30 April 2024 are affected by this recall.
The affected product was sold at selected supermarkets and retailers throughout New Zealand. The product has not been exported.
"If you have any of the affected product at home, do not consume it," said New Zealand Food Safety Deputy Director General Vincent Arbuckle.
"It should be thrown out or returned to its place of purchase for a refund."
The issue came to light as a result of consumer complaints that the nozzle had broken and pieces of plastic had got into the yoghurt.
"As is our usual practice, New Zealand Food Safety will work with Epicurean Dairy Ltd to understand how the issue arose and to prevent it happening again," Arbuckle said.
New Zealand Food Safety has not received any notifications of associated injury.
