According to the Food Standards Agency the packets of Tesco British Cooking Salt, pack size 1.5 grams with the batch code 3200, were removed because the possible presence of plastic makes them unsafe to eat.

Recall notices have been displayed at Falkirk area Tesco stores, explaining to customers why the product has been removed and telling them what to do if they have bought the product.
