Sainsbury's recalls beetroot over 'glass risk'

Supermarket giant Sainsbury's have asked customers not to eat its own brand sliced beetroot because of fears the jars may contain pieces of glass.

The Food Standards Agency says the presence of glass makes the product unsafe to eat and could present a safety risk.
