Greggs issues 'do not consume' warning to Iceland shoppers as they carry out urgent recall

Bakery chain Greggs is recalling some of its two-pack chicken bakes sold in Iceland Foods — because the pastries might contain hard plastic.

The product, which is exclusively sold in Iceland Foods, ‘may contain pieces of hard dark coloured plastic’, the company has warned. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) adds that only 306g frozen packets of the chicken bakes with a best before date of September 19, 2022, are affected.

Iceland shoppers are now being urged not to eat the product, and return it to the store. A notice from Greggs posted by the FSA on Friday (April 29) said: “This product may contain pieces of hard dark coloured plastic.

“If you have purchased the above product please do not consume. Please return to your nearest Iceland store for a full refund. This 2-pack product is exclusive to Iceland and therefore the recall is only applicable to product purchased from Iceland Stores. No other products, date codes or batches are affected.

"We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused. If you have any queries please contact Customer Care on +44 08081 473 447 or getintouch@greggs.co.uk.”

The FSA added that the plastic made the bakes ‘unsafe to eat’.
