The products have been available online and through independent food retailers in NSW, Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia.
FSANZ said the recall was prompted by the presence of foreign matter — specifically metal — and warned consumers not to eat the affected product.
Anyone who has purchased the product should return it for a full refund.
“Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice,” FSANZ said.
