Baked beans recalled over concerns the tins may contain rubber balls

Small rubber balls have been found inside the tins sold at Asda, Sainsbury's and Tesco.

Three leading supermarkets are recalling tinned beans over concerns they may contain small rubber balls that make them unsafe to eat.

Customers have been advised to not eat the products and instead return them to the store they bought them from for a full refund.

Three products from the food producers Princes Group have been named in the warning, including baked beans, baked beans with sausages and bean salad.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says the company has noted the presence of rubber balls, approximately 2.5cm in diameter, that could present a choking hazard.

Here are the products being recalled:
