KEY POINTS:
The national food watchdog has issued a warning not to eat Piranha Vege Crackers.
It follows news from the Australian state of New South Wales that there are higher than usual levels of naturally occurring cyanide in a batch of the exported vegetable crackers.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand says the likelihood of someone getting sick from eating the product is low, but as a precaution consumers, particularly children, should not eat the product.
A spokesman for the New Zealand Food Safety Authority said the authority had been in touch with the company and have been told the crackers are not exported to New Zealand.
