PAMS Mixed Berry 500g Recall

On Saturday 14 January, due to an error, some Foodstuffs South Island stores were sent a batch of Pams Mixed Berries 500g that were on hold in a Foodstuffs South Island Distribution Centre and subject to a precautionary recall.  As soon as we became aware of the error on Saturday 14 January, the Foodstuffs South Island stores who received the product were contacted and all product on-shelf, or in storage at the store has been removed, isolated and destroyed. Over a 24 hour period, Foodstuffs South Island identified that 10 bags of the Pams Mixed Berries 500g were unaccounted for and may have been sold.  3 customers (3 bags sold) have already been identified and contacted using available customer data.  We are taking steps to contact the customers who may have purchased the 7 remaining bags that are unaccounted for from the following stores:   • PAK’nSAVE Wainoni (Christchurch) – 1 bag  • PAK’nSAVE Hornby (Christchurch) – 4 bags  • New World Ashburton  - 1 bag • New World Three Parks (Wanaka) – 1 bag

Any customers who shopped at these stores and purchased Pams Mixed Berries 500g on Saturday 14 January with a best before date of 14.08.2022, should either, return the product to the store for a full refund, or follow New Zealand Food Safety’s current advice for the consumption of all imported frozen berries in New Zealand, which is to briefly boil all frozen berries. We apologise to the customers in South Island who have been inconvenienced due to this error.  Foodstuffs stores in North Island are not affected.
