Recall of Heinz Baby Food (Australia)
May 6th, 2008 by Christine
Two baby food varieties are being recalled by Heinz in Australia because some zucchini seed, which Heinz say may be inappropriate for babies of this age, found its way into the products. According to the Heinz website, the quality of the zucchini used for these products was affected by severe drought in the Murray Darling Basin.
The affected products are
- Globetotters Vegetable Napolitana 7-9 Months (170g) with a batch code of 0588 and a ‘Best before’ date of 27/02/2010
- Mum’s Recipe Chicken and Vegetable Risotto 7-9 Months (170g), with a batch code of 0458 and a ‘Best before’ date of 14/02/2010
and
In addition to problems with the zucchini, it seems that the Chicken and Vegetable Risotto product was manufactured with the use of an unsuitable batch of rice associated with a rice moth larvae (although the company assures consumers that this poses no risk to health).
If you have either of these products, you can return them to the store you bought them from for a full refund - and, if you have any questions, you can contact a special customer care line on 1800 888 803.
