PaknSave Rangiora Chicken Burger and Salad Recalled Over Undercooked Risk
A shadow has fallen over a popular New Zealand supermarket, with two of its popular ready-to-eat items now pulled from shelves due to serious safety concerns. This is not a drill; shoppers are being urged to check their fridges immediately for products that could pose a significant health risk. The Ministry for Primary Industries has raised alarm bells over the distinct possibility of undercooked chicken being served in these convenient meals.
The focus of this urgent recall is Pak'n Save in Rangiora, a store that prides itself on fresh, local produce and ready-made meals. The items in question are the "Death by Chicken" burger and the Chicken Katsu Garden Salad, both prepared and sold directly from the store. These products are staples for many looking for a quick and easy meal, making the potential for contamination a widespread worry for local consumers.
Here is what we know about the affected products: both the "Death by Chicken" burger and the Chicken Katsu Garden Salad were packed on the eighth of June, twenty twenty-six, with a best-before date of the eleventh of June, twenty twenty-six. The Ministry for Primary Industries, or MPI, is particularly concerned about the chicken within these items potentially not reaching a safe internal temperature, leading to the risk of foodborne illness.
Also Read:The specific packaging for these items has also been detailed by authorities. The "Death by Chicken" burger was sold as a single serving in a paper tray, sealed with plastic film, while the Chicken Katsu Garden Salad was presented in a clear, single-serve plastic punnet. Both were prepared on-site at the Rangiora Pak'n Save store, meaning the issue is isolated to this specific batch and location.
Foodstuffs, the parent company of Pak'n Save, has stated that food safety and customer well-being are their absolute highest priorities. They confirmed that as soon as the potential issue was identified, the affected products were promptly removed from sale and they collaborated with New Zealand Food Safety to initiate this recall. While there have been no reports of illness associated with these products to date, the MPI wants to be absolutely clear about the potential dangers.
Customers who have purchased either the "Death by Chicken" burger or the Chicken Katsu Garden Salad with the specified best-before dates are strongly advised not to consume them. They can return the products to the Rangiora Pak'n Save store for a full refund, or they can choose to dispose of them safely at home. Foodstuffs has assured the public that their internal teams have quickly identified how this occurred and have already implemented immediate corrective actions to prevent any recurrence, confirming this issue does not affect any other products sold at any other Pak'n Save locations.
The store has provided contact information for concerned customers, offering direct assistance. Those with further questions can reach out to Pak'n Save Rangiora by calling zero three three one one eight six three six, or by visiting the store directly at its Southbrook Road address. This situation underscores the critical importance of rigorous food safety protocols, especially for ready-to-eat meals prepared in-store. Stay with Mirror 7 News for all updates as they happen.
