Major supermarkets recall bread rolls over metal fragment fears

Almost 20 bread roll products are being pulled from shop shelves around NSW and the ACT over fears they may contain pieces of metal.

The NSW Food Authority has advice that 17 products have been recalled from the shelves of Coles, Woolworths, Metcash and IGA supermarkets, as well as from smaller stores and food outlets around the state and territory.

“This recall is the result of the potential presence of foreign matter (metal pieces) which may cause injury if consumed,” the authority’s statement read.

“Consumers should not eat this product.

“If you are concerned about your health you should seek medical advice.”

Customers who return the products to the place of purchase are entitled to full refunds.

The recall affects a range of hamburger rolls and hotdogs, sold under a variety of brands.

Goldman Fielder, the parent company of Quality Bakers of Australia, said in a statement it apologised for any inconvenience and reassured customers that no one had been hard.

“This product is in the process of being recalled from stores and some may be in people’s homes,” it read.

“The company is advising purchasers to review date codes and contact the Goodman Fielder Consumer Advisory Centre on 1800 810 599 to obtain a full refund.

“There have been no reports of harm or injury to any consumers and the product is being recalled as a safety precaution.”
