Food recall: Frozen berries recalled because of metal, says MPI
A brand of frozen mixed berries has been recalled because of "foreign matter", namely metal in the product.
The Ministry for Primary Industries said Nelson-based FSL Foods Ltd recalled a specific batch of Fruzio brand premium mixed berries "as the product may contain foreign matter (metal)".
The affected berries are sold frozen in 1kg plastic bags and have a best before date of June 22, 2021. They're sold in New World and Pak'nSave supermarkets, as well as Gilmours stores in the North Island.
The product is not exported and the recall does not affect any other Fruzio products, MPI says.
If people have brought the berries they should check the date mark on the back of the product. Affected product should not be consumed, is the advice given on the MPI website. Read more from Stuff here.
