Puma Tazon Shoes - as new

Jim from Northcote Point

UK8 or US9 (They are definitely what I'd call an 8 by NZ standards).


Great pair of Puma Tazon "SoftFoam" shoes.
The grey is actually a bit darker than the photos.

Only worn once because they are just that little bit small for me.

However, they are very light and comfy … View more

Only worn once because they are just that little bit small for me.

However, they are very light and comfy with the SoftFoam soles.

Countdown supermarkets are recalling a frozen vegetable mix as a precaution amid fears it could contain a particularly dangerous strain of listeria that has been linked to nine deaths overseas.

The Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) confirmed the recalled products have been traced back to a Hungarian facility, known to be the source of the listeria.

A Countdown spokeswoman said the supermarket had been advised there was a potential risk its Bell Farms Steam Veggies, Carrot, Corn and Broccoli bags contained the bacteria.

The company withdrew one batch of the Bell Farms frozen vegetables on Friday from all Countdown, SuperValue, and FreshChoice stores and has since recalled all batches of the product. Anyone who has purchased this product can return it to any of our stores for a full refund.

Frozen vegetables generally pose no risk if cooked correctly before eating, she said. Listeria can cause illness in pregnant woman and their unborn babies, newborns, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.

Information on the recall is available here. More information on food safety and listeria can be found here.
