Nestlé Australia today announced the immediate recall of certain batches of Uncle Tobys Roll-Ups due to the possible presence of small metal fragments.
The affected products are being recalled because an ingredient supplier has advised Nestlé that equipment failure in their facility has led to the possible presence of small metal fragments in an ingredient supplied to Nestlé used to manufacture the products.
The products being recalled are:

General Manager Snacks, Susan Catania, said these batches have been sold in major, independent and online retailers since early December.
“If you have purchased any of these products, please do not consume it, but return it to the place of purchase for a full refund,” Ms Catania said.
Ms Catania confirmed that other batches and products are not affected, and that Nestlé had not received any complaints from consumers regarding metal in Uncle Tobys Roll-Ups.
“As soon as we were made aware of the issue we made contact with authorities to conduct a recall and notified all relevant retailers,” Ms Catania said.
Food products containing foreign matter may cause illness or injury to consumers. Anyone who is concerned about their health should seek medical advice.
