Pams products recalled

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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."

What you need to know:
- The recall includes Pam's 100g punnets of Alfalfa Sprouts, Salad Sprouts, Sandwich Selection Sprouts, and Spicy Sprouts Combo - all with a use-by date of 4 November 2022.
- Affected product should not be eaten, but can be returned to place of purchase for a refund.
- Salmonella poisoning can be serious, especially for people vulnerable to illness, including the very young, the elderly, the pregnant, and those with compromised immune systems.

If you have consumed these products and have health concerns, contact your health professional or call Health Line: 0800 61 11 16.
