According to the FSA, Princes Group has recalled certain batch/lots of Asda, Branston, Sainsbury’s and Tesco branded Baked Beans and products containing these Baked Beans from the British marketplace due to reported rubber fragment contamination . As a direct result of this suspected defect, you should neither serve nor consume the recalled processed Baked Beans identified above.

In general, if bone, glass, metal, plastic and/or rubber fragments are ingested, they could cut the mouth, stomach or other parts of the GI tract, cause intestinal perforation or serious infection and possibly require surgical intervention for their safe removal.

In the case, this recall was initiated after it was reported that some products contain small rubber balls, making them unsafe to consume.

==> Never depend on your senses of sight, smell, taste or touch to confirm food poisoning, adulteration or contamination. If in doubt about the safety of any food, return it to your retailer for refund or toss it out in your household garbage, making sure neither small children nor household pets can access the suspect food.

Proposed Remedy:
If you believe you have purchased or have in your possession any of the recalled Asda, Branston, Sainsbury’s and/or Tesco branded Baked Beans and food products containing these Baked Beans, please do not consume them directly nor use them as an ingredient in another dish or preparation. Instead, return the Baked Bean products to the store where you purchased it for a full refund.

==> If you have a medical emergency, please contact 9-9-9, your closest hospital A&E or emergency centre equipped to properly treat choking, oral injury, internal ingestion, GI tract laceration damage, bowel obstruction/perforation and sepsis.
