  • Smith’s Original 6-pack – Woolworths, Coles and IGA stores in NSW, Queensland and Victoria and independent and convenience stores in NSW, Queensland, Victoria, SA and WA.
  • Smith’s Original (19g) included in the 20-pack Fun Mix – sold across Woolworths, Coles, IGA stores and independent retailers in NSW, ACT, Queensland, Victoria, WA, SA and NT.

The best-before-date markings of the affected products are:

  • Smith’s Cheese & Onion (45g & 170g)​: 17 SEP 23 (marked with DA), timestamp between 20:28 – 22:28.
