New Zealand Food Safety is supporting Nestlé in its recall of specific batches of Milo Dipped Snack Bars as the product may contain foreign matter.
“The concern with this product is that rubber pieces could cause choking,” says acting New Zealand Food Safety deputy director-general Jenny Bishop.
“If you have any Nestlé Dipped Snack Bars with batch numbers 5316, 5317, and 5318 TD15 and a best-before date of August 2026 don’t eat it. You can return it to the place of purchase for a refund. If that’s not possible, throw it out.”
The affected products are sold at supermarkets and retail stores nationwide.
The products have been removed from store shelves and have not been re-exported.

New Zealand Food Safety has not received any notifications of associated injury.
“As is our usual practice, New Zealand Food Safety will work with Nestlé to understand how this happened and prevent its recurrence,” says Ms Bishop.
The affected products were made in Australia and are also subject to recall there.
