Asda has pulled a model of spinach from its cabinets as a consequence of fears some merchandise may contain small pieces of metal.

The Food Standards Agency mentioned Taj chopped spinach shouldn’t be consumed and will as an alternative be returned to stores.

The product is offered in Asda retailers and at Eden Farm wholesalers.

The spinach affected is in a 450g bag, has a best-before date of January 2026, and the barcode 506013649177.

Asda wrote on its web site: “If you have purchased Taj chopped spinach, please bring it back to your nearest store where you will be given a full refund. You do not need your receipt.

“We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.”

Asda added the recall is “precautionary”.

The Food Standards Agency mentioned in an announcement: “This product may contain pieces of metal which makes it unsafe to eat.

“Taj Foods is recalling the above product. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling this product.

“These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.

“If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.”
