Asda and Sainsbury's have issued an urgent recall and 'do not eat' warning for a popular lunchbox staple.

The two supermarkets have warned that a 'packaging error' means the product could be a health risk to those allergic to soya.

Packs of McGhee's Family Bakers 6 Scottish Brown Rolls were shipped with White Morning rolls which contain soya.

Affected packs have an expiry date of January 12 and a batch code L5007. 

Food Standards Scotland advised consumers with a soya allergy to not eat the product and instead return it to their point of purchase for a full refund.

It said in a statement: 'McGhee’s Family Bakers are recalling packs of 6 Scottish Brown Rolls. 

'Due to a packaging error, several packs include white rolls which contain soya. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to soya.
