Supermarket giant Tesco has issued a recall of one of its products over concerns it may contain pieces of plastic. 

The chain has recalled its British cooking salt as it may contain small items which make it unsafe to eat. 

The recall affects all batch codes of the salt that come in a pack size of 1.5kg.

The supermarket recalled a product earlier this year over fears it may have contained small pieces of metal.
