L'Authentique parfait recalled due to food safety concerns

New Zealand Food Safety is supporting Charcuterie du Pacifique Sud Limited in its recall of its L'Authentique Chicken & Duck Parfait due to a failure of food safety controls.

"The concern with this product is that it has been produced without the required food safety controls being followed," says New Zealand Food Safety director food risk management Jenny Bishop.

"L'Authentique Chicken & Duck Parfait (100g) with a use-by date of '24/08/26' (24 August 2026) should not be eaten. You can return it to the place of purchase for a refund. If that's not possible, throw it out."

The affected products are sold at supermarkets and retailers nationwide.
