Countdown brand Bone-in New Zealand Free Farmed Leg Ham purchased from the Countdown Spotswood store between 8 December and 12 December has been recalled.

If you’re in New Plymouth, it may be a tad trickier to get your hands on a Christmas ham this festive season.

Countdown has recalled a batch of its Bone-In New Zealand Free Farmed Half Leg Ham, due to potential listeria which was detected during routine testing.

A Countdown spokesperson says the impacted ham was sold at Countdown Spotswood between 8 December, and 12 December 2022. It has a use by date of 27 February 2022.

“No other Countdown stores are affected by this recall,” the spokesperson says.

They say that any customer who purchased a ham from that batch should not eat it and should return it to their nearest Countdown store for a full refund.

“Countdown takes food safety very seriously and we apologise to customers for any inconvenience caused by this recall,” the spokesperson says.

Currently, no other hams are impacted by the recall.
