New World Halswell pork recalled due to metal

Neighbourly from Neighbourly.co.nz

New World Halswell is recalling specific batches of its pork hock and pork shoulder roast as the product may contain metal. Have you been affected?

There have been no reports of injury, but the Ministry for Primary Industries urged customers who consumed the pork and have health concerns to seek medical advice.

The ministry said the batches have a best before date of June 29 and 30 and were only sold at the Halswell store. The products were sold in clear plastic trays with clear plastic wrapping. Individual packaging sizes varied as it depended on the size of the meat.

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
