WAITROSE is recalling jars of beetroot over fears they may contain pieces of glass.

The supermarket chain, which has stores in Northwich, Knutsford, Alderley Edge and Wilmslow, is asking anyone who bought the ‘Essential Waitrose Pickled Sweet Sliced Beetroot’ with a best before date of September 2020, to return the product to the store.

The recall notice states: “Waitrose & Partners is recalling Essential Waitrose Pickled Sweet Sliced Beetroot because some jars may contain small pieces of glass. The presence of glass makes this product unsafe to eat.

“Please do not consume this product, and return to your local Waitrose branch for a full refund.”

No other Waitrose products are known to be affected.
