“We apologise that it is necessary to recall this product and for the inconvenience caused,” Waitrose says in its recall notice.
Several other recalls concerning plastic and even metal in food have prompted recalls in the UK this year.
Nestlé recalled one of its baby formula products earlier this year after the discovery of pieces of plastic that babies could choke on. The plastic reportedly came from the scoops used to dispense the product.
In March, Danone yogurts were recalled by Irish authorities after pieces of metal were found.
Top Class Actions will continue to monitor this and other UK food recalls to help keep consumers informed.
