Potato salad

Tesco and Sainsbury’s have both recalled batches of potato salad over fears they could contain pieces of metal.

Sainsbury’s said it believed the issue was related to a mechanical failure at its supplier, and is investigating the incident. It added it had so far received no complaints from customers, and that the problem had been identified by the manufacturer as part of routine quality control checks.

‘Customer safety is our top priority,” said Sainsbury’s. “We immediately removed the affected lines from sale while we investigate with the supplier.”

Customers are being told not to eat the products but return them to the store. No other products are known to be affected.

The recalled lines comprise:
