Fears shards of glass could be hidden inside a batch of pasta sauce has called for the government to demand the jars are recalled.
The Food Standards Agency has jars of Organic Alla Norma Sauce, from Organico Realfoods, need to be pulled from supermarket shelves immediately in a bid to minimise the risk to the unsuspecting public, after one jar was reported as containing glass.
The sauce - made with aubergines, tomato and garlic - could contain shards of glass, making it unsafe to eat. The recall includes all products with the batch number 140227 and the best before date of February 14, 2027. The jars are 350g in size.
The FSA said: "If you have bought any of the above product do not eat it. Instead, return it to the retailer it was purchased from for a refund.
"If the retailer does not accept returns or for further information, please contact Organico at: [e-mail] or visit the Organico website."
The company is also releasing a poster, containing an image of the product. The poster reads: "Organico Realfoods Ltd are [sic] recalling the above batch as a precaution following one jar reported containing glass.
"Please do not consume. Return to the retailer for a refund. If the retailer does not accept returns, please contact for a refund.
"We apologise that it has been necessary to recall this product and for the inconvenience caused."
Last week the Mirror reported that Morrisons was forced to recall its own-brand sausages over fears they contain small pieces of plastic.
The Food Standards Agency issued the recall today for the supermarket's "The Best 6 Thick Cumberland Sausages." The recall notice warns that the product "may contain small pieces of blue plastic," which makes it "unsafe to eat." The affected product has a pack size of 400g and a use by date of May 1, 2025.
Morrisons urged customers who have purchased the affected product not to eat it. Instead, they should bring it to a Morrisons store for a full refund. Customers will not need a receipt to do this. The product is usually priced at £3.25. Point of sale notices have been placed in all Morrisons stores to inform customers of the recall.
The supermarket chain confirmed that no other products in its "The Best" range were affected by the recall notice. These products include their Thick Lincolnshire Sausages, Thick Pork Sausages, Thick Pork and Caramelised Onion Sausages, Old English Sausages, and Pork and Bramley Sausages.
In a statement, Morrisons said: "We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and assure customers of our continuing commitment to the highest standard of product quality and safety."
