Food Safety NZ has announced a recall of sprout products due to the possible presence of listeria bacteria.
The affected products – which if already purchased should be returned or thrown out – are sold at supermarkets around the country.
They are several batches of 120-gram Southern Alp Sprouts brand alfalfa and onion sprouts:
- Batch J197 with a best-before date of 21 April 2026
- Batch J197 with a best-before date of 23 April 2026
- Batch J199 with a best-before date of 23 April 2026
Pam’s onion sprouts combo (120g) which is batch J199 and has a best before date of 23 April 2026.
Vince Arbuckle from Food Safety said the sprouts should not be eaten, as they could make people sick – and listeria infection was serious for vulnerable groups, including pregnant women.
Customers can return the products to the retailer for a full refund.
Anyone who consumed the products and were concerned about their health should seek medical advice.
