Pams brand Tempura Coated Chicken Nuggets are being recalled as they may contain small pieces of blue rubber.
New Zealand Food Safety deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle said the affected items were 1kg bags of Pams Tempura Coated Chicken Nuggets with a best-before date of October 16.
“Return the nuggets to the place of purchase for a refund or, if that’s not possible, throw them out,” he said.
The affected products were sold at Four Square, Gilmours, New World, Pak’n’Save and Social Supermarket stores nationwide.
“The products have been removed from stores and have not been exported.”
The problem came to light as a result of a customer complaint, and NZ Food Safety has had no notification of associated issues.
“As is our usual practice, we will work with Foodstuffs Own Brands to understand how this issue arose and to prevent it happening again,” said Arbuckle.
