— SpaghettiOs (@SpaghettiOs) November 12, 2015Responding to posts on its Facebook page, the firm said it checks all products before they are sent to stores.
“For example, SpaghettiOs passes through metal detectors, magnets and x-rays. In this case, because the plastic is actually part of the can lining which has separated, our usual foreign material checks would not have identified the issue.
“We also believe that parts of the lining may have separated after the product left our plant. We are taking steps to review our processes, and the way our cans are manufactured, to ensure an issue such as this does not happen again.”
It advised people who had bought the product not to eat it and return it to the store where it was purchased for an exchange or full refund.
