Arla high-protein pudding cups have been recalled across Queensland, NSW and the ACT after glass fragments were found in products sold at major supermarkets. The recall covers 200g salted caramel and chocolate flavoured puddings sold at Coles, Costco, IGA, Harris Farm and Supabarn.

The NSW Food Authority said the affected salted caramel puddings, with a best before date of April 28, were sold only at Costco in NSW. The chocolate puddings, best before March 9, were sold at Coles in NSW and Queensland, at independent food retailers including IGA and Harris Farm in NSW, and at IGA and Supabarn in the ACT.

"Food products containing glass fragments may cause illness/injury if consumed," the Food Authority said. "Consumers should not eat this product. Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice. Consumers should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund."

Analysis

Why This Matters

The affected products were sold through multiple major retailers, so many shoppers in NSW, Queensland and the ACT could be affected.
Glass fragments in food can cause illness or injury, which is why the authority is warning consumers not to eat the products.
Anyone who bought the puddings needs to check the best-before dates and return affected pots for a refund.

Background

Arla is a dairy company whose branded products are sold widely in Australian supermarkets. Food recalls are issued by state food authorities when a product poses a potential health risk, in this case from contamination with glass. Recalled products are typically removed from sale and customers are offered refunds.

What to Watch
