New Zealand Food Safety (NZFS) is supporting Foodstuffs Own Brands Limited in its recall of Pams Afghan Oat Baked Bars as the product may foreign matter, being metal.
“The concern with these oat bars is that some metal from manufacturing equipment may have got into the product during the production process,” NZFS deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle says.
“If you have any Pams brand Afghan Oat Baked Bars with Batch L5017 and a Best Before of 16/01/2026 don’t eat it.
“You can return it to the place of purchase for a refund. If that’s not possible, throw it out.”
The affected products are sold at Four Square, Gilmours, New World, Pak’nSave, Social Supermarket and Trents nationwide.
The products have been removed from store shelves and have not been exported.
NZFS hasn’t received any notifications of associated injury.
“As is our usual practice, NZFS will work with Foodstuffs Own Brands Limited to understand how this happened and prevent its recurrence,” Arbuckle says.
The vast majority of food sold in New Zealand is safe, but sometimes problems can occur.
