New Zealand Food Safety (NZFS) is supporting NZ Drinks Ltd in its recall of Hydr8 Spring Water (600ml x 24) as the product may contain blue plastic.
“The concern with the affected batches of bottled water is they could contain soft shreds of blue plastic, which could be a choking hazard,” NZFS deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle says.
“If you have any Hydr8 Spring Water in the 24-pack of 600ml bottles, with best-before dates of 10 JUN 27, 11 JUN 27 and 16 JUN 27, don’t drink it.
“Return it to the place of purchase for a refund. If that’s not possible, throw it out.”
The affected products are sold at selected supermarkets throughout the North Island.
They’ve been removed from store shelves and have not been exported.
New Zealand Food Safety hasn’t received any notifications of associated injury.
“As is our usual practice, NZFS will work with NZ Drinks Ltd to understand how this happened and prevent it [from] happening again,” Arbuckle says.
