Supermarket urgently recalls food item over fears it may be contaminated with ‘pieces of glass’

SHOPPERS have been warned not to consume olives as they may be contaminated with “pieces of glass”.

Waitrose has recalled a batch of olive jars over fears it may contain glass.

The supermarket has pulled Pitted Spanish Queen Olives from the shelves citing that they are “unsafe to eat”.

The retailer urged customers to avoid eating the olives and return them to their local store for a refund.

The shoppers should look out for 113g jars with the best before date of December 2025.

The retailer wrote in a statement: “We apologise that it has been necessary to recall this product and for the inconvenience caused.”

The Food Safety Agency confirmed the recall and posted an advice, writing: “If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.

“For more information contact Waitrose customer care team on 0800 188 884, Option 4.”

This comes as more cheese may have been contaminated with deadly bug after two supermarkets pulled products from shelves.

Morrisons first recalled a specific batch of the semi-soft cheese last week after it had come into contact with the potentially fatal bacteria.

Thousands of Magnum Classic ice creams are also being recalled as they “may contain pieces of metal”.

Unilever is being forced to pull the treats from the shelves as they could be unsafe to eat.

Meanwhile, a popular drink could be a potential hazard to people with health issues after a labelling blunder.

The label on the drink mistakenly states that it contains “no added sugar” which turned out to be false.

Consumers with diabetes or anyone who needs to monitor their sugar levels could now be at risk.
