Iceland recalls thousands of Greggs chicken bakes over fears they contain plastic

Greggs has recalled frozen chicken bakes that are sold in Iceland after some packs were found to contain pieces of hard plastic.

The bakes that have been pulled from shelves cost £2 for a pack of two (306g) and have a best before date of September 19, 2022.

If you’ve purchased one of these products with the above date, Greggs has warned that it could be dangerous to eat.

Shoppers are being advised to return the bakes to their nearest Iceland for a refund. You shouldn't need a receipt to get your money back.

No other dates have been included in the recall, and it also doesn’t apply to fresh chicken bakes sold in Greggs stores.

In a notice to customers, Greggs said: “This product may contain pieces of hard dark coloured plastic."

The company continued: “lf you have purchased the above product please do not consume. Please return to your nearest Iceland store for a full refund.

“This two-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.”

When a supermarket product is recalled, you usually don’t need your receipt to get your money back.

But if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action.

For all product recalls, you can check the Food Standards Agency and Chartered Trading Standards Institute websites.

You should also notice recall notices in stores if they've pulled a product from shelves.

Other recalls to watch out for include soup that has been removed from Tesco stores over fears it may contain pieces of metal.

The supermarket is pulling its Tesco Chicken and Vegetable cup soup with croutons, priced at 80p.

The product affected by the recall has a best before date of October 2023 and the date code 2098.

No other best before dates are included in the above recall. The soup comes in a pack of five sachets and weighs 110g.

The supermarket has also recalled a certain batch of Trewithen Dairy Unsalted Butter after some were found to contain "high levels" of E. coli bacteria.

The batch is the Trewithen Dairy Unsalted Butter 250G with a best before date of May 23, 2022 with the batch code: G2 073.
