Tesco has recalled a batch of its own-brand biscuits over fears they may be contaminated with pieces of metal.
The supermarket has pulled certain packs of its Tesco Free From Digestive Biscuits, which are priced at £1.30.
The affected packages are 160g and with an end date of March 2023. No other date batches are affected.
The Food Standards Agency issued the recall notice on April 8 and advised shoppers not to eat the recalled biscuits.
A statement on the FSA website reads: "This product may contain small pieces of metal which makes it unsafe to eat."
It continued: “If you have bought the above product, do not eat it. Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.”
You won’t need a receipt to get your money back.
Worried customers who’ve purchased the biscuits are being advised to contact Tesco on its customer services hotline on 0800-505-555.
This isn't the only product to have been recalled by Tesco in recent weeks.
The supermarket recalled a certain batch of Trewithen Dairy Unsalted Butter after some were found to contain "high levels" of E. coli bacteria.

Chocolate manufacturer Fererro has also issued a massive recall on several batches of Kinder eggs over fears they could be linked to an outbreak of salmonella.
As a result, a Kinder chocolate factory in Belgium was forced to shut last week.
Kinder products have been recalled in the UK, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland and Luxembourg.
Customers who've purchased one of the recalled products are being urged not to eat them.
Instead, you should contact the Ferrero consumer careline on consumers.uk@ferrero.com or 0330 053 8943 in the UK.
Shoppers will be offered a full refund, the chocolate manufacturer said.
Symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.
Most cases will clear within a few days, but in some examples, symptoms can be severe and lead to hospital admission.
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.
