Johnston Mooney & O'Brien, the oldest bakery in Ireland, has been forced to issue a recall after metal was found in several of its products.
Johnston Mooney & O'Brien has recalled 10 of its products including a range of burger buns and hot dog rolls with the Food Standards Agency (FSA) urging anyone who has purchased the items to return them immediately.
The recall comes as the various baked products "may contain small pieces of metal" and as a result are unsafe to eat.
