Dare Ice Coffee has been pulled from shelves around Australia over contamination fears

Bottles of one of Australia's favourite iced coffee brands have been pulled from shelves across the nation amid fears of plastic contamination.

Bega Dairy and Drinks has recalled Dare Iced Coffee drinks from hundreds of stores, with four different flavours of the popular drink affected.

The drinks have been recalled amid fears that the milky drink may contain 'foreign matter', aka plastic pieces, that may cause injury or illness if consumed.
