Hot cross bun product sold at Foodland supermarkets recalled because of glass hazard
The national food safety agency has recalled a batch of hot cross buns sold at South Australian supermarkets because of the possible presence of glass.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand warned of the "presence of foreign matter", which it identified as glass, in the nine-packs of the mini fruit hot cross buns.
The buns are sold under the brand The Little Dough Co. and have a date marking of March 3, the agency said.
It said the buns could pose a hazard, and urged consumers not to eat them.
It said the recall was being conducted on behalf of retailer Foodland.
"The product has been available for sale in Foodland Supermarkets and online in South Australia," Food Standards Australia New Zealand said on its website.
"Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
"Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice."
The agency advised anyone seeking further information to contact Foodland Promotions.
SA Health has shared information about the recall on social media "in the interests of public awareness".
In a statement, its executive director of health protection and regulation, Chris Lease, said he was not aware of any reports of injuries, but added that "contamination of any food product is of concern".
"Foodland is conducting a voluntary recall in response to a customer complaint," Dr Lease said.
"We are not aware of any incidents of injury related to the affected product.
"We urge anyone who may have purchased this product to check the date marking, not to consume them, and return them to their place of purchase for a full refund."
