Cow & Gate and Tesco are recalling 15 types of baby food jars as a “precautionary measure” amid concerns some may have been tampered with.
Customers who bought food for babies aged over seven months in Tesco stores in the UK are advised not to use them because they may pose a safety risk.
The jars should be returned to Tesco for a full refund, the companies said.
No other Cow & Gate, Tesco or other baby-branded products have been affected, they said.
