New Zealand Food Safety (NZFS) is supporting Smartfoods Ltd in its recall of specific batches of Tom & Luke brand Low Carb Snacka Balls Chocolate Coated Cookies & Cream, Raspberry and Hazelnut flavours due to the possible presence of hard plastic.

“These products should not be eaten. You can return them to the place of purchase for a refund. If that’s not possible, throw it out,” says NZFS deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle.

The affected products are sold at selected retail outlets and supermarkets throughout New Zealand.
