New Zealand Food Safety (NZFS) has supported Tasti Products Ltd in a significant recall of a range of Tasti brand bars, peanuts and snack ball products due to the possible presence of foreign matter (small wire-like metal pieces).
"The concern with these products is that they could cause injury,” said NZFS deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle.
"Affected products have been removed from shelves. If you have any at home, don’t eat them. You can return them to the place of purchase for a refund. If that’s not possible, throw them out."
The products are sold at supermarkets and retailers throughout New Zealand. Up-to-date information on affected products, batches and flavours, including photographs, is available on the New Zealand Food Safety recall page.
Not all batches and flavours are affected, so consumers are asked to check the information on the recall page carefully.
New Zealand Food Safety has not received any notifications of associated injury.
"As is our usual practice, NZFS will work with Tasti Products Ltd to understand how this happened and prevent its recurrence."
Some affected product has been exported to Australia, Fiji, India and Singapore. New Zealand Food Safety has informed food safety authorities in those countries.
