A specific batch of a Countdown-branded pre-packed salad sold at supermarkets across the country has been recalled due to fears of listeria contamination.
Routine testing discovered listeria in a specific batch of Countdown's potato, egg and bacon salad with a use-by-date of July 13, 2021.
The product shouldn't be consumed and either thrown away or returned for a refund, New Zealand Food Safety said.
The supermarket chain initiated the recall from its Countdown, Fresh Choice and Supervalue stores across the country.
