Kmart chocolate: Urgent product recall over plastic contamination

The discount department store has warned customers not to consume one of its products over fears it could be contaminated.

Kmart has issued an urgent recall notice over fears two of its chocolate products may contain plastic.

The two chocolate products at risk are the Solid/Filled Egg Bag 360g and Caramel Egg Bag 160g.

Those chocolates with a use-by date of February 12 2021 are at risk of contamination and should not be consumed.

The chocolate had been available to purchase at Kmart stores across Australia as well as via their online store.

These chocolates with a use-by date of February 12 2021 have been recalled.

According to Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) the two products have been pulled from shelves “due to the potential presence of foreign matter (plastic)”.

Customers who have bought these two products have been warned not to eat the chocolate as “food products containing plastic may cause injury if consumed”.

Those who have purchased the chocolate are advised to return it to the store they purchased it from for a full refund.
