The iconic Girl Guide biscuits are undergoing testing after
complaints that this year's batch is not up to standard.
Girlguiding chief executive Ruth Teasdale said the product
had not been recalled but it looked like there was a problem
where "the mix was a bit dry" in the biscuits that were sent
to the Wellington suburb of Johnsonville.
The tests by biscuit manufacturer Griffins could also find
that there were problems with biscuits in other parts of the
country.
"We will have a clearer picture [this] morning," Ms Teasdale
told the Dominion Post.
The biscuits were first sold in New Zealand in 1957 after an
original recipe was developed by Cadbury Fry Hudson.
Between 1 million and 1.7m packets of biscuits are sold
annually with more than 40 per cent of the sales going to the
guiding group which sells them.
