The Ministry for Primary Industries has issued a recall for some batches of Jimmy's Pies after a man had an allergic reaction and needed to be resuscitated.

The notice says Jimmy's Pies Ltd is recalling specific batches of its Jimmy's brand mince pie and its mince and cheese pie because of the presence of an undeclared ingredient: monosodium glutamate (MSG).

The company had been contacted by a man's wife after he had an allergic reaction after eating a pie and had to be resuscitated after it caused breath issues about two weeks ago. "Everything is OK. He is OK."

The affected batches are all numbers up to 8250, and batches after 8253 are not affected by the recall.

The ministry statement says: "If you have consumed this product and have any concerns about your health, seek medical advice. If you are not allergic or intolerant to MSG, this recall does not affect you." Read more here

Note on speed threshold: Over the holiday period – 4pm on Friday 19 October to 6am on Tuesday 23 October 2018 – if you're detected by a safe speed camera exceeding the posted speed limit by more than 4 km/h, you are highly likely to be ticketed.

Senior Sergeant Jared Kirk, Team Leader for Road Policing in Otago says Police will have a visible and active presence on Otago roads during Labour Weekend, focusing on high-risk behaviour through prevention and enforcement.

“We’ll be targeting known hot spots and risky behaviours such as speed enforcement, drug and alcohol testing, cell phone use, and seatbelt checks. We know these are the four main behaviours which contribute to death and serious injury on our roads, and these are what we address when we interact with people and share road safety messages.

“If you’re driving slowly or towing, check your mirrors and regularly pull over to let other vehicles pass. Impeding the flow of traffic can cause other drivers frustration and contribute to them making risky decisions.”
