More Mainland cheese products recalled

Fonterra Brands New Zealand (FBNZ) has recalled more Mainland cheese products after a metal fragment was found in one pack.

Three products were initially recalled on Tuesday but this has been extended after it was found that a small amount of the relevant cheese was blended and processed into individually wrapped slices, FBNZ marketing general manager Dominic Quin said.
