Hawke’s Bay food manufacturer Kiwigarden is suspending production and recalling all batches of one of its dairy-free yoghurt drops flavours, due to minute traces of milk.
Johnny Wiggins, general manager of Kiwigarden, said the Hastings-based company is taking an “extremely cautious” approach after the presence of milk and casein (a protein found in milk) was found in two batches.
“Further tests identified a second batch with the presence of milk, and we are moving quickly to completely remove this product from the market and home pantries.
“We take the welfare of our consumers very seriously, and deeply regret the presence of dairy in this dairy-free product. We are now recalling all batches and suspending production for the foreseeable future.”
