Countdown recalls frozen veggie mix

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.

Have you received an extra $30 this week?

An extra $31.82 is now being paid to all couples 65 years and older who receive New Zealand Superannuation. Single superannuitants are receiving $20.46 per week, automatically.

** What does everyone think about the payment? ***
*** Great idea, or a waste of government money as it's not targeted?***

Please write NFP if you'd prefer your comment wasn't used in a print story.

The payment runs for 12 weeks and is to help with increased winter heating costs.
The payment is not means tested.

Winston Peters, who earns $335,000 per annum, is receiving the payment and says he does not intend to refuse it.

People on Jobseeker Support and Sole Parent Support also receive the payment.

Thinking of hiring a Tradie?

Consumer Protection

Thinking of hiring a local contractor to do some renovations on your house? A good rule of thumb is to obtain more than one quote, particularly if you are investing a large sum of money.

- Do you know the difference between a quote or an estimate?
