Kmart has recalled a line of wooden trays over concerns of borer infestation, an invasive wood-eating beetle species.
The alarm was raised by Michelle Reichardt, a Northland mother who found sawdust and holes in her serving tray and alerted the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI), the government’s biosecurity agency.
A spokesperson from MPI said the insect intruder had been identified as Lyctus africanus, also known as the African powderpost beetle, a species not present in New Zealand.
“The importer has recalled the trays pending further investigation and the infested item has been securely destroyed,” the spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, Kmart’s online listing for the $20 acacia serving tray has been replaced with a message that says “product not found”.
