Urgent recall: Priceline product families need to be aware of

Today, Halloween, marks one of the biggest lolly-consuming days on the calendar, so parents should be aware of an urgent product recall from Park Avenue Foods if they have these lollipops on hand to give out for Halloween.

My Little Pony Giant Pops (180g) and Avengers Giant Pops (180g), sold nationally at Priceline stores, have been recalled because they contain metal, according to a Food Standards Australia New Zealand notice.

“The recall is due to the presence of foreign matter (metal),” it said. “Food products containing metal may cause injury if consumed.”

The confectionery has a best before date of July 1, 2020 and are manufactured in China.

According to its website, the Australian-owned Park Avenue Foods has been operating in Australia and New Zealand for 15 years, “dedicated to providing quality, value-added licensed confectionery, biscuits, ice cream and other food products".

Food Standards Australia New Zealand has advised that the My Little Pony and Avengers Giant Pops should not be consumed and can be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.
