An urgent recall notice has been issued for jars of Tahini due to the "possible presence of metal." Carley's, who say they are "one of Europe's leading manufacturers of pure organic nut and seed butters, chocolate spreads, chutneys, mustards and pickles" are recalling a batch of their Light Raw Tahini.

They say they are recalling the jars of the Middle Eastern condiment "due to the possible presence of metal in sesame seeds supplied to us" which "makes this product unsafe to eat."

The notice has been shared by the regulator the Food Standards Agency (FSA). They say: "This product may contain pieces of metal which makes it unsafe to eat.
