Nestle has recalled four varieties of Kit Kat Chunky bars after pieces of plastic were found by seven people.
The company said the 48g peanut butter, hazelnut, choc fudge and caramel flavour chocolate bars were being recalled “to avoid any risk whatsoever to our consumers”.
Kit Kat Chunky Collection Giant Eggs were also being called back.
Nestle advised consumers not to eat the products and return them unopened for a full refund.
A spokesman said: “The safety and quality of our products are non-negotiable priorities for the company. We sincerely apologise to our consumers for any inconvenience caused by this voluntary recall.”
I – Word Understanding
Recall – to cancel
Refund – to return (money)
II – Have your say
1.A food recall is an action taken by a particular firm to remove products from the market. Why is it necessary?
2.A product recall is a request to return to the maker a batch or an entire production run of a product, usually due to the discovery of safety issues. Which companies (in Japan) had product recalls so far? What were the safety issues involved?
3.A recall election (also called a recall referendum or representative recall) is a procedure by which voters can remove an elected official from office through a direct vote before his or her term has ended. Recalls are initiated when sufficient voters sign a petition. Last year, in the Philippines, 38 cases for recall elections were foregone due to lack of budget and time. How is recall election different from snap election?
