New Zealand Food Safety is supporting Hellers Limited in its recall of Sweet Chilli Pork Tenders due to the possible presence of foreign matter.
"The concern with these pork tenders, available from supermarkets nationwide, is that they could contain pieces of hard black plastic," says New Zealand Food Safety’s acting deputy director-general Jenny Bishop.
"If you have any of the 600g packets of Hellers Limited Sweet Chilli Pork Tenders with a best before date of 6 June 2026, don’t eat them. Customers should contact the retailer for a refund, or if that is not possible throw it out.”
New Zealand Food Safety has not received any notifications of associated injury, and the products have not been exported.

"As is our usual practice, New Zealand Food Safety will work with Hellers Limited to understand how this happened and prevent its recurrence," says Ms Bishop.
