The recall extends to all 7+ months Heinz By Nature baby food range that are sold in the supermarket.
Precautionary measure
Heinz and Tesco are voluntarily recalling the 7+ month baby food range after it was discovered a single jar had been “tampered with”. The jar was found to contain two sharp metal fragments.
