Pak'nSave Glen Innes, in Auckland, has been forceed to recall some of its mince meat due to a staff member's mobile phone falling into it unnoticed.
A Foodstuffs spokesperson told the NZ Herald that contrary to the store's approved protocols, one of its worker's had a mobile phone in the production area and it fell into the mincer without anyone noticing.
"The team responsible will be retrained to ensure that such an event does not occur in the future," the spokesperson said.
NZ Herald reports that consumers who bought beef and prime beef mince with a best before date of September 25, 2018 or were served over the counter minced meats with the best before of September 24, 2018 should not eat the products.
Customers can return the meat for a full refund.
The recall is only for mince bought from the Pak'nSave Glen Innes branch on Apirana Ave.
