Tesco and Morrisons have been forced to issue a product recall after an unexpected ingredient was found in a popular dish.
The Food Standards Agency stated there may be crustaceans (prawn and lobster) in the La Famiglia Rana Slow-Cooked Braised Beef Lasagne 700g, which are not listed on the label.
According to the official body, this is a health risk for anyone who may have an allergy and consumes the product without knowing the crustaceans are inside.
It said: "This product contains prawns and lobster making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to crustaceans."
The batch code affected is: L0B510816 with a use-by date of June 17 this year.

Food Standards Agency guidelines have a clear stance advising those who have bought the dish "do not it it," and the product should be returned to the store which it was bought from for a full refund, even if you do not have a receipt.
Tesco has issued its own product recall on the food item.
It states: "Giovanni Rana UK Ltd is recalling a specific date and batch code of La Famiglia Rana Slow-Cooked Braised Beef Lasagne 700g.
"Due to a packaging error, some packs may contain Prawn & Lobster Lasagne instead, containing crustaceans (prawns and lobster), which isn't mentioned on the label.
"This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to crustaceans."
It added: "If you've bought an affected product and have an allergy to crustaceans, please don't eat it. Instead, return it to a Tesco store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required."

For additional information the supermarket suggests contacting the manufacturers of the lasagne, Giovanni Rana UK Ltd, directly on recall@rana.co.uk.
Morrisons issued a similar statement to Tesco, but added it was sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Its website said: "Please do not eat this product and return it to your nearest store for a full refund. We don't need a receipt.
"No other products are affected by this issue.
"We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and assure customers of our continuing commitment to the highest standard of product quality and safety."

Why saving lives at sea is truly a family affair in Fraserburgh
Vic Sutherland, Coxswain for almost 20 years, volunteers alongside his 21-year-old daughter Eilidh, his brother David and his nephew Declan. Together, the four family members make up part of the crew that helps save lives at sea. Vic Sutherland said: "It's probably overwhelming for the rest of the crew having four Sutherlands aboard the boat – they probably feel like they can't move for us, but I'm very proud of the family connection." READ MORE: He added: "The fact I'm going to sea with David, along with my nephew Declan and now my daughter Eilidh – I'm really proud they're carrying on the family tradition, just as we followed in our dad's footsteps." The two brothers have half a century in the life-saving organisation between them, and the family's RNLI connection goes back decades. Mr Sutherland said: "My dad was a fisherman and crew member. I remember the phone ringing and him dropping everything to go – there were no pagers then, just the house phone. You would know within a matter of seconds when it was the lifeboat calling, because my dad would drop the phone and run straight out of the house." He added: "It certainly set myself and David up with an itch to join the crew, it was a natural progression. I think it gave us a really good grounding, it's great for any youngster coming in. It gives you a sense of responsibility, because obviously the level of commitment that's going to be given is second to none. It also gives you a sense of pride, the fact that you're involved with the station." Mr Sutherland's daughter Eilidh, who recently joined as crew, says it felt inevitable she would follow the same path. Vic Snr, Vic, Dave and Declan (Image: RNLI) She said: "I grew up with the RNLI. My dad always says I've been going about with fundraising buckets since I could walk, and I always remember thinking I would love to be part of the crew." Despite their close bond, the 21-year-old says professionalism comes first on the boat. She added: "It's definitely brought us closer, but when I'm at the station, he's not my dad – he's the Coxswain and I'm the crew." Father's Day itself will be a working one for Vic Sutherland at RNLI Fraserburgh. He said: "I'll open my cards and get my socks or a bottle of whisky, but I'm on duty this weekend so it's just like any other day. If the pager goes off, you're getting on with it and doing what needs to be done. That's been the way for the whole of Eilidh's life." He added: "My girls have experienced the pager going off at every kind of time over the years, whether it's a Father's Day, Mother's Day, anniversaries - if the pager goes, you just respond. It wouldn't be the first time they had been left sitting in a restaurant or abandoned sitting in Tesco's with their mum because they've went in for the shopping, I've been sitting in the car and the pager's gone and they understand I've had to go." And for families considering volunteering together, daughter Eilidh said: "Just go for it. It's brought us closer being there for that part of each other's lives, because it's the biggest part of our lives. Working on the boat with my dad and going out to help people together is just an amazing feeling." Established in 1858, Fraserburgh was the first RNLI station in Scotland. Its crews have been honoured with 16 awards for gallantry, the most recent of which was in 1997 when a Bronze Medal awarded to Coxswain Albert Sutherland in recognition of his outstanding seamanship and high standard of leadership when the lifeboat City of Edinburgh rescued six people and saved the fishing vessel Hopecrest some 50 miles north east of the lifeboat station in very rough seas and severe gale.

The Food Standards Agency confirmed yesterday that any customer returning the breakfast favourite will be issued with a full refund. Anyone who has purchased the product has been advised to call 0203 966 5566 or email In a statement, the budget retailer said: " Lidl GB is recalling the product due to the potential presence of foreign bodies (metal) which may present a choking hazard. "If you have bought the above product we advise you not to eat it. "Customers are asked to return this product to the nearest store where a full refund will be issued." Your product recall rights Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know. Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods. As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action. But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk. If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer's website to see if a safety notice has been issued. When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected. You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item
