Fox’s Burton’s Companies (FBC) UK recalls Arran Fine Foods Caramelised Red Onion Chutney because it may contain pieces of metal
Why it was recalled
Fox's Burton's Companies is recalling Arran Fine Foods Caramelised Red Onion Chutney because pieces of metal may have got into the jars. Metal fragments in food can cut the mouth or damage teeth, so affected jars are treated as unsafe to eat outright.
This is a manufacturing contamination problem rather than anything wrong with the recipe, and there is no way to tell from the outside whether a particular jar is affected, which is why the whole batch is coming back.
