The Food Standards Agency has now urged families to return the products to store.

The warning reads: "The presence of plastic and metal makes this product unsafe to eat and presents a safety risk.

"If you have bought any, do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.

"Young's is recalling the product. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling it.

"These notices explain to customers why it's being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought it."

Young's said "We apologise to retailers and our customers for any inconvenience caused by this voluntary recall.

"The safety and quality of our products is highly important to us and we take all issues regarding the production of our food extremely seriously."

Founded in 1805, Young's employ 3,000 people and supply around 40 per cent of all the fish eaten in the United Kingdom every year.
