Nestlé Australia says that it has decided to voluntarily withdraw Violet Crumble 50g bars from sale because of a very small number of bars being underweight.
According to the company, the production process for making Violet Crumble is similar to the recipes you make at home – every one comes out slightly different. Honeycomb needs a lot of TLC as it is very brittle and breaks easily during the production process.
Nestlé manages these breakages by producing product with an average weight well in excess of 50g.
The company identified that a very small number of broken bars have been making it through their detection machines at Nestle’s factory in Melbourne and have been released for sale.
“We are working hard right now to ensure that all Violet Crumble bars comply with Federal Government regulations on net weight. We hope to return our Violet Crumble 50g bars to sale as quickly as possible,” the company said.
