Target have shared a recall stating, “At Target Australia, the safety of our customers is our highest priority. This is why we’ve decided to conduct a voluntary recall of The Fabulous Food Company Candy Cane 40g with a best before date of August 2019 due to a safety issue.

This item was available for purchase between 16 September 2018 and 17 January 2019.

Customers should not consume this product and return it to a Target or Target Country store as soon as possible, with or without a receipt, where our team members will provide them with a full refund.”

The recall is due to the potential presence of plastic in the candy.

They are advising customers not to consume the product but return for a full refund.

Considering the price of fuel it’s probably cheaper to bin them rather than take them back.

We were given some recently. I just threw them out when we got home. Won’t be taking any risks.

Bit late. Every kid at end of school was handing them out. Not sure if they were all target ones though.

I wish Target would stop selling this cheap imported junk and get back to what they are good at, homewares and clothes.

Late recalls are not ok, but better then no recall.

One would hoped they had found out earlier about the plastic in the cane. Lucky we do not buy them but instead make them ourselves.

It’s probably too late now. Most kids would have eaten theirs already.

These were on a huge special just after Christmas so I’d think people would mostly just toss them…. not worth the $1(or less) rebate (for multiple canes) to go to the trouble of taking them back.
