Chicken nuggets recalled due to possible rubber presence
New Zealand Food Safety is supporting Foodstuffs Own Brands in its recall of Pams brand Tempura Coated Chicken Nuggets, as they may contain small pieces of blue rubber.
“If you have a 1 kg bag of Pams Tempura Coated Chicken Nuggets with a best-before date of 16 October 2025, don’t eat them,” said New Zealand Food Safety Deputy Director-General Vincent Arbuckle. “Return the nuggets to the place of purchase for a refund or, if that’s not possible, throw them out.”
The affected products are sold at Four Square, Gilmours, New World, Pak’nSave and Social Supermarket stores nationwide. The products have been removed from stores and have not been exported.
New Zealand Food Safety’s food recall page has up-to-date information and photographs of the affected product.
The recall was a result of a customer complaint and New Zealand Food Safety has had no notification of associated issues.
“As is our usual practice, we will work with Foodstuffs Own Brands to understand how this issue arose and to prevent it happening again,” Arbuckle said.
