The Food Standards Agency (FSA) have warned the products are not safe and have issued a “do not eat” warning.
An FSA spokesman said: “These products may contain pieces of metal and plastic which makes them unsafe to eat.
“Tesco is recalling the above products. The company has issued a recall notice to its customers.
“These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
“If you have bought any of the above products do not eat them. Instead, return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund.
“No receipt is required. For further details, please contact Tesco Customer Services directly on 0800 505 555. Please see the attached notice.”
What is a product recall?
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued.
This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
