Chicken wraps sold at Aldi, Co-op and Morrisons supermarkets have been urgently recalled because they could contain pieces of metal.

Consumers have been warned not to eat the products and instead return them to the shop where they were purchased.

Food giant Greencore has recalled various brands of chicken and bacon Caesar wraps over the potential safety risk to customers, the Liverpool Echo reports.

The firm has claimed to hold a 60 per cent share of Britain's grocery sandwich market.

The products were recalled as a "precautionary measure", the Food Standards Agency said.

It said: "Greencore, as a precautionary measure, is recalling various brands of chicken and bacon Caesar wraps because they may contain metal fragments which could present a safety risk.

"The products are manufactured by Greencore and sold in Aldi, Co-op Food and Morrisons retail stores."

The warning added: "If you have bought any of the products, do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought.

"Greencore are recalling the products. Aldi, Co-op Food and Morrisons are displaying point of sale notices in retail stores that are selling these products.

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