E.coli was discovered after routine testing, but New Zealand Food Safety has not received any notification of any associated illness
In New Zealand, a batch of Pams Carrot Batons is recalled due to the possible presence of E.coli. The recalled products are being removed from shelves at New World, Pak‘nSave and Four Square stores nationwide.
Vincent Arbuckle deputy director-general New Zealand Food Safety said, “The concern with this specific batch of Pams Carrot Batons, with a use-by date of 20/01/2023, is that there may be E.coli bacteria present”.
E.coli was discovered after routine testing, but New Zealand Food Safety has not received any notification of any associated illness.
“As is our usual practice, New Zealand Food Safety will be working with Foodstuffs’ Own Brands to understand how the contamination occurred and prevent its recurrence,” Arbuckle said.
