Tasti Products Limited has recalled a range of its muesli bars, peanuts and snackball products, due to the possible presence of small wire-like metal pieces.
New Zealand Food Safety [NZFS] supported the move, with deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle saying the products could cause injury.
"Affected products have been removed from shelves," he said. "If you have any at home, don't eat them.
"You can return them to the place of purchase for a refund. If that's not possible, throw them out."
The items impacted include their Smooshed wholefood balls, snack logs, chopped peanuts, Frooze Balls and nut bars.
Not all batches and flavours are affected, so consumers are asked to check the information on the recall page carefully.
The products are sold at supermarkets and retailers throughout New Zealand.
Up-to-date information on affected products, batches and flavours, including photographs, is available here.
Arbuckle said New Zealand Food Safety had not received any notifications of associated injury.
"As is our usual practice, NZFS will work with Tasti Products Ltd to understand how this happened and prevent its recurrence."
Some affected product has been exported to Australia, Fiji, India and Singapore. New Zealand Food Safety has informed food safety authorities in those countries.
Arbuckle is working with the company to discover how it happened.
