Nationwide food safety concerns are mounting as Magnolia Real Limited leads a series of recalls, urging consumers to take immediate action.

The company has recalled specific batches of its Magnolia Dairy brand Fresh Whole Full Cream Certified Organic Raw Milk due to potential contamination with Campylobacter bacteria.

The affected milk, sold in Silverdale, Auckland, carries use-by dates from 13 August 2024 to 25 August 2024.

"This raw milk should not be consumed unless it’s heated to kill any bacteria. Return it for a refund or dispose of it if returning isn’t possible," warned Vincent Arbuckle, New Zealand Food Safety deputy director-general.

In addition to the raw milk recall, New Zealand Food Safety is also supporting recalls of several other food products.

Safari Meats and SA Shop Limited have recalled all batches of 13 dried and cured meat products, including Biltong, Droëwors, and Venison Biltong, due to a lack of essential food safety controls.

These products were distributed through Christchurch and online platforms.

"These products should not be eaten. You can return them for a refund or throw them out," Mr Arbuckle advised.

Delmaine Fine Foods has recalled a range of antipasto products, including those sold under the Delmaine and Woolworths brands, because of potential Listeria contamination.

Affected products include Five Olive Mix, Mediterranean Antipasto Mix, and Marinated Feta.

Listeria is particularly dangerous for pregnant individuals, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.

"These products should be avoided. Return them for a refund or dispose of them safely," Mr Arbuckle added.

All recalled products have been removed from store shelves and were not exported.

Consumers who have purchased any of these items are advised to visit the New Zealand Food Safety website for detailed information.
