Food recalls can be shared when a product is found to be unsafe to consume.

Products have been pulled from UK shelves as a number of tinned items contained rubber.

This is a potential "choking hazard" and shoppers in Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and more were urged to be careful.

The recall affected time baked beans, beans and sausages and bean salads.
