ASDA is recalling pasta ready meals for kids over fears they contain pieces of blue rubber.

The presence of rubber is a choking hazard for young children, meaning the products are unsafe to eat.

The product recall applies to the Asda Little Kids Pasta Bolognese as well as the Asda Little Kids Spaghetti Bolognese.

The affected pasta bolognese packs weigh 150g each and come with a use by date of March 4 or March 5, 2021. They cost £1.40 each.

While 300g packs of the spaghetti bolognese are affected by the recall, and these come with a March 5 use by date and cost £2.20 each.

The recall has been issued this week, despite the products already having passed their use by dates.

It’s because the products are suitable for home freezing, meaning shoppers may have the items in their freezer.

The packs are being recalled after some were found to contain pieces of blue rubber, said the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

If you’ve bought the products, you should avoid feeding them to your children and instead return to your nearest Asda store for a refund.

You don’t need to have your receipt to get your money back.

A spokesperson for Asda declined to share how many products are being recalled when contacted by HOAR today.

It said in a statement: “We’re very sorry for any inconvenience caused.”

If you’d like more information about the recall, you can contact Asda’s customer services on 0800 952 0101.

Other product recalls to look out for include Danone yogurts sold at Tesco, Morrisons and Asda, which may contain pieces of metal.

While Lidl is recalling beef and pork mince over fears it contains pieces of plastic.

Tesco recently also issued a recall on packs of spicy chorizo slices over fears they could be contaminated with listeria.
