A number of Sainsbury's products are being recalled

Hot on the heels of Sainsbury's and Tesco having to recall potato salad products over fears that some packs may contain pieces of metal, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Morrison’s are now recalling a number of food products after a batch of potatoes used as an ingredient in all of them was found to contain small pieces of metal.

The affected batch of potatoes originates from a single supplier.

A subsequent food chain investigation of the aforementioned products involved in the initial recall by the retailers and manufacturer identified the affected batch of potatoes and the other products they were used in.

Initial investigations suggest a piece of equipment broke up on the manufacturing line, resulting in the fragments of metal going into the batch of potatoes.

Jason Feeney, COO at the Food Standards Agency (FSA), said: 'The FSA is advising anyone who has bought these products not to eat them and return them to the shop where they were purchased. The pieces of metal which may be present are potentially harmful, so people should check whether they have bought any of the products.'
