This is so disturbing - by Amy Sinclair
  • 06 Sep 2019

Authorities have issued an urgent alert after a range of salt & pepper grinders were recalled amid serious food safety fears. 

The range of grinders have been found to have faulty packaging, leading to the potential presence of plastic fragments in the spices.
