A customer’s discovery of glass pieces in hot cross buns has forced Foodland supermarkets to pull these buns from shelves across South Australia. The contaminated products are The Little Dough Co. Mini Fruit Hot Cross Buns, sold in packs of nine, with an expiration date of March 3, 2025.
Glass fragments in food can cut the mouth, throat, and internal organs if consumed. This makes the current recall particularly urgent for anyone who’s bought these buns.
“Contamination of any food product is of concern,” warns Dr. Chris Lease, Executive Director of Health Protection and Regulation at SA Health. The recall started after a customer reported finding glass in their purchase – a clear example of how consumer vigilance helps protect public safety.
The recall affects all Foodland locations, both in physical stores and their online platform. Anyone who bought these buns should check their kitchen storage immediately. The danger comes from consuming these buns, as they may contain glass pieces.
