Arla Foods Mayer Australia has recalled two protein pudding varieties over the presence of glass fragments, warning consumers that eating the affected products could cause injury.
The recall was published on October 24, 2026, by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ). The affected products were distributed across New South Wales (NSW), the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and Queensland (QLD), through major retailers and independent food stores.
The recall involves Arla Protein Salted Caramel Flavour Pudding and Arla Protein Chocolate Flavour Pudding, both sold in 200g containers. The identified hazard is foreign matter contamination involving glass.
Consumers should check the product name, pack size and best-before date against the following recall details.
1. Arla Protein Salted Caramel Flavour Pudding
2. Arla Protein Chocolate Flavour Pudding
Consumers are advised not to eat either affected product. They should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Anyone who has consumed the pudding and is concerned about possible injury should seek medical advice. Glass fragments may cause cuts or damage to the mouth, throat and digestive tract, depending on their size and whether they are swallowed.
For further information, consumers can contact Arla Foods Mayer Australia on +61 2 9669 2211, email enquiriescs@mayers.com.au, or visit Mayer’s Australia.
Glass is a physical food safety hazard that may be difficult to detect before consumption. Fragments can cause injuries to the mouth and throat, damage teeth and potentially injure the digestive tract if swallowed.
Unlike some food safety hazards, foreign matter contamination may not be apparent from a product’s appearance or smell. Consumers should therefore follow the recall notice rather than attempt to inspect the pudding to determine whether it is safe.
The recall underscores the importance of controlling physical hazards throughout food manufacturing, processing, packaging and distribution. Foreign materials can enter food products through equipment damage, packaging failures or other contamination incidents, making preventive controls and effective quality checks essential.
Consumer takeaway: Check your refrigerator for the affected Arla Protein Salted Caramel and Chocolate Flavour Puddings. If the product matches the specified size and best-before date, do not consume it. Return it to the retailer for a full refund.
