Food Safety Incident: Recall of Assorted Biscuits Due to Metal Fragments
On March 4, 2026, a significant food safety incident was reported involving assorted biscuits that have been found to contain metal fragments. This incident has raised serious concerns regarding the safety of these products for consumer consumption.

Consumers are advised to check their pantry for these products and to refrain from consuming them. It is crucial for individuals who may have purchased these biscuits to follow the recall instructions provided by relevant authorities.
