Packs of beef lasagne have been pulled from supermarket shelves because some may contain seafood.

Giovanni Rana (UK) Ltd is recalling La Famiglia Rana Slow-Cooked Braised Beef Lasagne, due to a packaging error.

Some packs contain prawn and lobster lasagne instead.

This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to crustaceans.

The product is sold in supermarkets such as Tesco and Morrisons as well as online.
