Pams products recalled
Foodstuffs Own Brands Ltd is recalling a selection of its Pams brand sprouts with salmonella being discovered as a result of routine testing.
While New Zealand Food Safety has not received any notification of associated illness, these products have now been removed from shelves at New World, Pak'n Save, and Four Square stores throughout the North Island.
New Zealand Food Safety deputy director general Vincent Arbuckle says "As is our usual practice, New Zealand Food Safety will be working with Foodstuffs to understand how the contamination occurred and prevent its recurrence."
