What to do now
Metal pieces from production equipment may have ended up in The Compleat Food chilled pastry products.
- Do not eat it and do not try to find the metal yourself.
- Put it out of reach of children.
- Return it to Sainsbury’s for a refund. Shops normally accept recalled food without a receipt.
- Look for other packs at home: the recall covers every pack that matches the details below.
Why it matters. Metal fragments can break teeth or cut the mouth and throat. Processing lines use metal detectors, and a recall like this usually means a fault was found after products had left.
Symptoms and when to get help
Look out for
- pain in the mouth or throat
- a chipped or broken tooth
Get help urgently
- bleeding, vomiting blood or severe stomach pain — go to A&E or call 999

Getting your money back
The quickest route is to take the pack, or a photo of its label, back to the shop. Most retailers refund recalled products without proof of purchase.
