Bakery giant Greggs has been forced to recall some of its two-pack chicken bakes — because the pastries might contain hard plastic. Greggs has issued a 'do not consume warning' as the bakes, which are exclusively sold in Iceland Foods, ‘may contain pieces of hard dark coloured plastic.’
The 306g frozen packets of the chicken bakes with a best before date of September 19, 2022, is the only product that is affected, according to The Food Standards Agency (FSA). 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’, as reported by Manchester Evening News.
