It added that Project 32 has been working \u201copenly and co-operatively\u201d with the airline to resolve the issue and had transferred ownership to a New Zealander.<\/p>\n
Days after the initial allegations, Project 32 made New Zealander Janice Tan a company director, effectively making the snack supplier a New Zealand company.<\/p>\n
The Air NZ statement said that Project 32 is committed to updating its packaging artwork for future stock and to ongoing transparency around its charitable giving, which, according to Webworm, lacked clarity.<\/p>\n
This included moving from annual to quarterly donation cycles.<\/p>\n
\u201cAir New Zealand will use existing stock on hand to avoid unnecessary food and packaging waste,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis also preserves the product\u2019s gluten-free certification and ensures that charitable donations already committed this year can reach the communities they were intended to support. <\/p>\n
\u201cNew packaging is expected by the end of summer.\u201d<\/p>\n
The spokesperson added that the airline has also reviewed and strengthened their processes for verifying supplier packaging and product claims to prevent similar problems from occurring again.<\/p>\n
The Herald has contacted Project 32 for comment.<\/p>\n
