Bone Broths Recalled Over Safety ConcernsBroths Recalled Amid Food Safety Concerns

Coasties should be aware that The Little Bone Broth Company is recalling all batches and dates of its popular bone broths due to incomplete information on its food process controls.


The recall affects a range of products, including Premium Free Range Chicken Broth, Premium Grass Fed Beef Broth, and Premium Free Range Chicken Green Thai Curry Broth, all in 500ml packaging.

New Zealand Food Safety (NZFS) deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle stated, "The concern with these broths is that the company has produced them without having complete information on its food process controls. This means there is incomplete evidence of food safety hazards being correctly managed."


Although no related illnesses have been reported, the NZFS is taking a precautionary approach.


Arbuckle emphasised, "Broth produced without the necessary food safety measures could make people sick."


Locals who have purchased these broths are advised not to consume them.





The products can be returned to the place of purchase for a refund, or, if that is not possible, they should be discarded.


The broths were available at selected supermarkets and retailers throughout New Zealand but have now been removed from shelves and have not been exported.


For those concerned about their health after consuming these products, it is recommended to contact a health professional or call Healthline on 0800 61 11 16 for free advice.


NZFS will work with The Little Bone Broth Company to ensure that this issue does not happen again.
