McCain’s Pizza Pockets Pulled Nationwide After Plastic Found Inside
So, let me walk you through what’s happening right now with McCain Australia, because this recall has been making headlines across the country. A major safety alert has been issued after plastic – and in some reports, even small pieces of metal – were found inside a popular frozen snack many Aussies keep in their freezers.

McCain has announced an immediate nationwide recall of its Cheese & Bacon Pizza Pockets 400g. These are the packs with the batch code 1005481714 and best-before dates marked October 2026 289 , October 2026 290 , or October 2026 291 . These products were being sold in every Australian state and territory through major retailers including Woolworths, Coles, IGA, and a number of smaller outlets.
The recall was triggered after a consumer discovered plastic inside one of the pockets. Once the issue was reported, the product was quickly pulled from shelves as a precaution. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) stepped in and confirmed the risk, warning that consuming food containing plastic or metal could lead to injury or illness. Because of that, shoppers have been urged not to eat the product under any circumstances.
McCain issued a formal statement saying the safety and wellbeing of consumers is taken very seriously, and that it’s working closely with food safety authorities to carry out the recall swiftly and thoroughly. An apology was also offered for the inconvenience this situation is causing households, especially given how commonly these pizza pockets are purchased as quick snacks for kids and families.
Anyone who has this product at home is being advised to either throw it out or return it to the store for a full refund. And, of course, if someone has already eaten one and is worried about possible health effects, they should seek medical attention just to be safe.
Interestingly, this recall isn’t the only one happening right now. Other products – ranging from mince beef to snack balls – have also been pulled due to similar contamination concerns. It’s a reminder of how closely food authorities monitor these issues and how quickly action is taken when something goes wrong.
For McCain customers who need more information, the company has provided a hotline and email so people can raise any concerns directly. The main message at this point is simple: check your freezer, look for that batch code, and don’t eat it if you’ve got it.
