Supermarket chain Iceland is urgently recalling packs of its Crispy Chicken Dippers over fears they may contain plastic.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a warning that the potential presence of plastic makes the product unsafe to eat.
The product being recalled is the supermarket’s £3 pack of 60 dippers (1.08kg), with any best before date code.
“Iceland is recalling the above product [60 Crispy Chicken Dippers],” the FSA said in a statement.
“Point of sales notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling this product.
“These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.”
The FSA has advised that any customers who have bought the Crispy Chicken Dippers should not eat them.
Instead, shoppers should return the product to the store where it was purchased and ask for a full refund.
Customers with any further concerns or queries should speak to a store manager or contact the customer care line on 0800 328 0800.
In 2018, Iceland was one of a number of UK supermarkets forced to recall various frozen vegetable products due to concerns over possible listeria contamination.
The recall came after health organisations warned that an outbreak of the bacterial infection across Europe had been linked to frozen vegetables that were not cooked properly.
Other retailers, including Sainsbury’s, Lidl and Tesco, were also involved in the wide scale recall of products distributed by Greenyard Frozen, a Belgium-based supplier.
Last month, a US company also recalled over 23,000 containers of baby formula amid concerns the product may contain metal.
The nationwide recall of Perrigo Company's 35 oz containers of Parent’s Choice Advantage Infant Formula Milk-Based Powder with Iron was announced by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The FDA explained the reason for the recall was because of “the potential presence of metal foreign matter” in the exclusively Walmart-sold product.
