What to do now

Pieces of metal may be in ZOE Daily 30+ 7 Day. They are a choking and injury risk.

  1. Do not eat it, even after a careful look.
  2. Keep it out of reach of children until you return or bin it.
  3. Return it to Waitrose, where you should get your money back, or bin it.
  4. Check the freezer and cupboards for other packs with the same details, including anything you have decanted or portioned.

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
