CFS urges public not to consume batches of ice cream sticks after metal pieces found

The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) advises the public against consuming a batch of ice cream sticks that may contain metal pieces due to a recent recall in the United Kingdom.

The concerned product is "Magnum Classic Ice Cream Sticks (3x100ml)" with a best-before date of November 2025 and the batch numbers L3324, L3325, L3326, L3327, and L3328.

A preliminary investigation of the CFS revealed that no specific batches of the product concerned are sold in Hong Kong. 

"According to the record of the CFS, no import permission was issued in the past three years for the product concerned and the specific batches being recalled in the UK," the Centre spokesman said.

The Centre has asked the importers and retailers to stop using or selling the product concerned immediately and urged citizens not to consume the affected product if they have purchased any overseas.
