Nappy pants have been stripped from supermarket shelves after a serious pest was found inside a haul of imported products.

Khapra beetle larvae were discovered inside Little One's Ultra Dry Nappy Pants - Walker Size 5 (42pk) earlier in September, a federal agriculture department alert states.

The products were sold nationally by Woolworths and imported through a third company.

No other sizes or products from the same brand are believed to be impacted.

Anyone who comes across the insects another way has been urged to raise the alarm.
