Licorice sweets recalled

A licorice sweet sold in New Zealand was last week found in Australia to be contaminated with lead.

Recall notices are expected to be published on this side of the Tasman later this week.

The huge family-owned Darrell Lea company has issued a recall notice for all 185g bags of the company's yoghurt-coated raspberry licorice and yoghurt-coated mango licorice in at least 1100 Australian shops.
