Asda, Sainsbury's and Aldi has joined Tesco by recalling some of its popular chilled pastry products over fears they may contain pieces of metal and plastic.
The three supermarket giants are among the latest stores to be involved in the urgent recall from The Compleat Food Group alongside the Food Standards Agency and it affects some of its pastry food items.
The recall comes after Tesco issued A Free from recall last month and both Tesco and home Bargains recalled a popular condiment and a Lentil Chips recall was issued earlier in 2023.
The following foods that have been declared "unsafe to eat" include popular pastry slices, snack pack sausage rolls and pies.
Anyone who has bought these items are being asked to check the pack size and best-before dates against the affected products recalled.
Tesco was first to issue a recall notice to its customers explaining why the products are being recalled and what they can do if they have purchased any of the items.
It advises, "Please do not consume these products and return them to store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required."
It added, "Tesco apologises to our customers for any inconvenience caused. If you require further details, please contact Customer Services directly on: UK: 0800 505 555."
Aldi customers are asked to return the product to their nearest store for a full refund, or contact customer services on UK: 0800, 042 0800.
Asda customers are told, "Bring it back to your nearest store where you will be given a full refund. You do not need your receipt" or call Asda Customer Relations on UK: 0800 9520101.
And Sainsbury's customers are also asked to return the items to store or contact its Careline on UK: 0800 0288303.

The Food Standards Agency issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to advise members of the public and local authorities know about problems associated food. Such problems result in an item being taken off the shelves or returned by customers.
In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.
