Recall of Tasti products due to possible metal pieces extended

The recall of more than 20 popular snack products under the Tasti brand over the possible presence of small wire-like metal pieces has been extended to include additional batches.

The "significant" recall was made on Saturday. It impacted various Tasti bars, peanuts, and snack ball products sold at supermarkets and retailers across New Zealand, with some exported to Australia, Fiji, India and Singapore.

Last night, New Zealand Food Safety extended the recall to include additional batches of Tasti products.

On Saturday, NZFS deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle said there was concern the products could cause injury. He said no reports of associated injury had been received.

"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," he said.

Not all batches and flavours were affected, and consumers were urged to check the information on the recall page carefully.
