A recall has been issued for vegan Afghan biscuits after they were found to contain milk and walnuts.

The products affected include New World Motueka made-in-store ‘Vegan Afghan Biscuits (8 PK)’ with a Best Before date of November 18, 2026 (18.11.26).

The Afghan biscuits had been incorrectly labelled as vegan.

The recall did not affect any other New World Motueka made-in-store products.

Customers were asked to check the date mark on the product label.

Anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or walnuts was advised not to consume the product and to return them to New World Motueka for a full refund.

"If you have consumed any of this product and have any concerns about your health, seek medical advice," the Ministry for Primary Industries said on its website.
