He said: “Mattessons is recalling the products. Point-of-sale notices will be displayed in stores selling these products.

“These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled.

“The Mattessons sales team are also engaging customers directly to alert them to the recall and set out the process in place.

“If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ - taken off the shelves - or ‘recalled’ - when customers are asked to return the product.

“If you have bought one of the above products, do not eat them. Instead, contact Mattessons for a full refund.”
