What happened
Food Standards Australia New Zealand published the recall on 28 October 2026. The business behind the snacks is Atomic Changes Pty Ltd, trading as Bomberry. It recalled four 150g products, and each one mixes berries with Belgian chocolate.
- Natural blueberries with Belgian chocolate, dark chocolate.
- Natural blueberries with Belgian chocolate, white and milk chocolate.
- Natural raspberries with Belgian chocolate, white and dark chocolate.
- Natural raspberries with Belgian chocolate, white and milk chocolate.
The packs were sold at Woolworths, IGA, Harris Farm and Drakes stores. They were also sold online across Australia.
The recall covers all best before dates up to and including 20 January 2028. Only packs within that date range are part of this recall.
Neither official notice reports any illness or injury linked to the snacks. The notices give the reason, the packs, and the action to take.
How to check your pack
Start with the brand name on the front of the pack. It must read Bomberry.
Next, check the pack size. It must be 150g.
Then check the flavour and the best before date. Both must match the recall list.
The New South Wales Food Authority gives the same check in plain steps. Match the brand, product name, size, date and store where you bought it.
If you threw the pack away, you may not be sure. In that case, assume the product is affected.
If you are unsure about any detail, contact the food business. Use the contact details on the pack.
Why it matters
Food with metal in it may cause illness or injury if eaten. That warning comes from Food Standards Australia New Zealand.
Metal is classed as foreign matter in food. It does not belong in a snack.
That is why the advice is simple. Do not eat the product, even if it looks fine.
Return it to the place where you bought it. You will get a full refund.
If you feel unwell after eating it, seek medical advice. Tell the doctor about the recalled product.
Recent recalls show why pack checks matter. A plant butter recall and a fruit cocktail recall made the same point. A toothpaste recall did too.
What if you already ate it
Follow the recall notice first. It tells you whether to seek medical advice.
It is recommended you seek medical advice if you feel unwell. Tell your doctor about the recalled product you ate.
Most recalls are issued without any reported illnesses. A recall does not mean people are already sick.
Recall notices always include the reason for the recall. The reason helps you judge the risk.
How food recalls work in Australia
Food Standards Australia New Zealand coordinates food recalls across Australia. It works with state and territory food agencies.
In New South Wales, the Food Authority is the enforcement agency. It publishes recalls that affect that state.
Most recalls start with the food business itself. The business must have a written recall plan.
This was a consumer recall. That means the food was on sale to the public.
A trade recall is different. In that case, the food was sold only to other businesses.
An emergency order is a third type. That is a mandatory recall ordered by the government.
Recalled food is a very small share of all food on sale. Most recalls are a precaution by the business.
If you see a recalled product still on sale, tell the store. You can also report it through the Food Authority complaint form.
What happens next
A recall removes the food from sale, distribution and consumption. Stores should no longer sell the affected packs.
Shoppers can return packs to the place of purchase. They will get a full refund.
Businesses that recall food must report their corrective actions. That may include staff training or better handling steps.
Watch the Food Standards Australia New Zealand website for updates. It publishes all food recalls in Australia.
The recall is trending in Australian search today. If you find a pack, return it rather than eating it.
Check your pack today, before you snack. A quick check takes less than a minute.
