Pies, gravy power and vegan shroomballs urgently recalled by supermarkets

Here's a round-up of the latest product recalls.

• Vegan Shroomballs

Sainsbury's are recalling a product from their vegan range over fears that it may contain plastic.

Plant Pioneers Vegan Shroomballs have been recalled due to the potential presence of "small pieces of white plastic" which would make the product unsafe to eat.

Sainsbury's released a statement saying that no other products had been affected by the contamination.

It said: "It has been brought to our attention that the above product may potentially contain small pieces of white plastic.

"We are asking customers who have purchased this product to return it to their nearest Sainsbury's store for a full refund when they next visit for groceries & other essentials."

Food Standards Agency advise that those who are in possession of the product should return it to the store from where it was brought next time they visit for essential shopping.

Those who are vulnerable or shielding have been advised by Sainsbury's to call its careline on 0800 636262 or by email to customer.service@sainsburys.co.uk

Fry’s Family Foods have recalled Fry’s Mushroom Country Style Pie because it contains milk which is not mentioned on the label.

The Food Standards Agency added: "If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, or avoid the consumption of meat, do not eat it.
