The ice cream product is the Häagen-Dazs brand Classic Collection Mini Cups (4x95mL) with the Best Before dates from the 04.07.2022 up to and including 21.07.2023.
Ethylene Oxide has been found in the vanilla cup. This chemical is normally used as a fumigant for controlling post-harvest insects, moulds, and pathogens in a variety of food however there is low risk from ingesting this amount.
This product is sold in Pak'n Save, New World, Four Square, and Gilmours stores throughout the North Island and can be returned to these stores for a full refund.

Buses will replace trains this weekend, but on a reduced schedule to account for drivers falling sick.
All Auckland Transport trains will be swapped out with buses this weekend (starting Friday at 9.30pm on the Western Line), as KiwiRail has essential maintenance to complete.
Those replacement buses will be less frequent that normal on the Eastern, Southern and Western Lines "while driver shortage and high rates of driver sickness continue," AT says.
AT Group Manager Metro Services Darek Koper says he knows it's frustrating but drivers cannot be asked to work while ill.
“We all know friends or family members who are being knocked about at the moment by winter illnesses, whether it’s COVID-19, the flu, or a bad cold doing the rounds,” said Koper.
“We’re asking Aucklanders to be patient and understanding as we work with our operators to hire and train more drivers, but for the meantime we will unfortunately see more disruption to our services this winter.”
The best way to keep up with network changes is through the AT Mobile app or via the journey planner online.
I love this photo from Elizabeth Amber's garden of a yellow admiral. You could have these beauties (and more) visiting your garden.

The e-news is free and comes out every Friday, with tips and tricks to bring more beautiful butterflies to your garden in the season. www.mb.org.nz... .
We're lucky in Blockhouse Bay because our swan plants are not "annuals" - we can have plants that last for years and of course if you let them they will self-seed, providing you and your neighbours with more plants... more caterpillars, more butterflies. (If you can control the social wasps, that is.)
Feel free to share this message with others in your neighbourhood(s) - it would be great to have more people looking after our butterflies.
The MBNZT has a great “special offer” available now for new financial members: George Gibbs’ excellent book on “The Monarch Butterfly in New Zealand” as well as a colourful ID poster of New Zealand’s butterflies, both absolutely free. And they put the subscription to really good use… they’ve listed 19 ways (and I suspect there are more) on their website.

Both of these gifts are free right now when you show your support for the MBNZT, $35 per annum to receive the magazines digitally, or only $45 to receive them in the mail.
Instead of 13,334 new community cases yesterday, there were 9,318 cases. You may like to look at:

In mid-June, the footpath on the road collapsed and it was cracked apart by a burst water main.
A section of the road has been blocked to traffic since and residents have been told it will take months to fix.
Residents now have to detour along Huia Rd to Victory Rd to access their homes.
Harry Gibbs, who lives near the slip with his partner and 5-month-old baby, said it now took 25 minutes to get to the supermarket in nearby Titirangi when it used to take eight.
