CO-OP has issued an urgent recall of tins of tuna chunks that could contain pieces of metal, causing danger to customers.
The supermarket and convenience shop chain issued the recall to pull the cans, costing £1.39 each, or about £4 for a pack of three, from the shelves.
The following products are being recalled: Tuna Chunks in Sunflower Oil Pack, size 3 x 145g, Best before 31 August 2026, Co-op Tuna Chunks in Springwater Pack, size 3 x 145g, Best before 31 August 2024.
Customers are being urged to return the products to their nearest Co-op store if they have bought any of the above for a refund.
The nationwide alert was backed by government watchdog the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
The FSA said: "Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling these products."
