FSANZ Orders Urgent Recall of Aldi’s Hillcrest Bubble Bars Over Rubber Contamination

The regulator urged shoppers to stop consuming the product, return it for a refund, then seek medical advice if concerned.

Overview

  • Recall covers 132g Hillcrest Bubble Bars in choc rainbow, birthday cake and choc chip flavours with a best-before date of 8 September 2026.
  • Products were sold at Aldi in NSW, the ACT, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, and have been removed from shelves.
  • FSANZ warned that rubber pieces in the bars pose illness or injury risks and advised consumers not to eat the product.
  • Shoppers can obtain a full refund by returning the affected bars to Aldi, with further information available via the Aldi recall hotline at 1800 709 993.
  • The action follows a Milo snack-bar recall reported a month earlier for black rubber contamination that spanned multiple retailers and listed specific batch numbers.
