Pak\u2019nSave Rangiora has recalled two made in-store chicken products over the possibility the chicken had been undercooked.<\/p>\n

The products, named the Death by Chicken Burger and Chicken Katsu Garden Salad, have a best before date of June 11, 2026, and were packed on June 8.<\/p>\n

New Zealand Food Safety deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle said eating the products could make people sick, and should not be eaten.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can return them to Pak\u2019nSave Rangiora for a refund. If that\u2019s not possible, throw them out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The products affected were sold at Pak\u2019nSave Rangiora, located on 2 Southbrook Rd.<\/p>\n

So far, Arbuckle said New Zealand Food Safety had not received any notifications of associated illness, however undercooked chicken could contain campylobacter bacteria.<\/p>\n

\u201cSymptoms of campylobacteriosis include diarrhoea, fever, headache, muscle aches, abdominal pain and vomiting. Symptoms appear within 2 to 5 days but sometimes can take up to 10 days.\u201d<\/p>\n

People who have consumed either product and are concerned about their health should contact a health professional, or Healthline on 0800 611 116.<\/p>\n

Arbuckle said New Zealand Food Safety would work with Pak\u2019nSave Rangiora to understand how the contamination occurred and prevent its recurrence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pak\u2019nSave Rangiora has recalled two made in-store chicken products over the possibility the chicken had been undercooked.
