Poundland has pulled a popular bag of nuts from its shelves over fears the product possibly contains glass.
The budget shop issued a “do not eat” warning for bags of The Tasty Snack Co. Roasted and Salted Cashews and said the product could be unsafe to eat.
Customers are being asked to not consume the products but instead return the nuts to a Poundland store for a full refund. A receipt is not needed to get a refund on this product.
Only batches of the nuts sold in 100g bags with the code 56T 25255 and best before date 19 July 2026 are affected by the recall.
The safety warning issued by Poundland reads: "We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. However the safety and confidence of our customers and the quality of our products is at the heart of everything we do."
Pieces of glass could cause damage to the oesophagus, irritation and bleeding if swallowed.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) which issued the recall said point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling the nuts. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought it.
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, FSA may issue a recall to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
It comes after Aldi has recalled a popular chocolate snack because it could be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts. The Dairyfine Crispy Choc Um’s, an M&M-style chocolatey treat, have been taken off shelves as they may contain peanuts.
