- Aldi Australia has announced urgent recall of Hillcrest Bubble Bars
- The recall is due to foreign matter (black rubber pieces) detected
Aldi Australia has announced an urgent recall of three of its popular lunchbox items after ‘foreign matter’ was detected.
The supermarket has pulled three flavours of Hillcrest Bubble Bars – Choc Rainbow, Birthday Cake and Choc Chip – from its shelves nationwide due to a food safety hazard.
Food Standards Australia has warned that the rice crispy bars are contaminated with black rubber pieces that may cause illness or injury if consumed.
‘Consumers should not eat this product,’ food authorities warned.
Shoppers who purchased the Bubble Bars with the best before date September 8, 2026 are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The products have been available for sale in ALDI stores across NSW, ACT, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.
Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice.
