50,000 tubs of Bisto gravy granules recall

The gravy granules may be contaminated with tiny shards of dangerous metal. 

All affected tubs of Bisto gravy granules came from a single batch affected by the fault at its factory in Worksop, Nottinghamshire.

Spokesman Steve Marinker warned that the products had been distributed to supermarkets and other retailers across the UK, rather than being concentrated in a single region. After some maintenance there was a fault which occurred in a filler bowl on the production line and there was some rubbing against the metal bolts, and that is what created this issue. The company apologises to Bisto consumers for any inconvenience caused.”

All affected batches will have the production code BBE JAN 2017 L5208 printed on their bases.

Customers are advised to return the product to the store they purchased it from for a full refund. No receipt or proof of purchase will be needed.

Alternatively, they can get their money back by calling 0800 085 3959.
