Coles and Woolworths issue urgent nationwide recall—check which product is affected
- Replies 3
As we all settle in for the excitement of the AFL grand final, a staple snack for many Aussie households has hit a snag.
McCain Foods, a brand well-known for its convenient frozen food options, has issued an urgent recall for one of its products sold in major supermarkets across Australia, including Coles and Woolworths.
The product in question is the 230g packets of Pickers by McCain Nacho Cheese Triangles.
It has been found that these snacks may contain a foreign object—plastic—that poses a significant risk of illness or injury if consumed.
The presence of plastic is not only a choking hazard but could also lead to other health complications if ingested.
This recall is particularly timely as many Australians stock up on snacks and treats in preparation for the grand final festivities.
The McCain Foods Pickers Nacho Cheese Triangles have been distributed widely.
They are available for purchase at Coles, Woolworths, IGA, Drakes, and various independent retailers across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania, and South Australia.
Authorities are urging consumers who have purchased this product not to eat it.
Instead, they should return the item to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Those who may have already consumed the product and are concerned about their health should seek immediate medical advice.
