Police called in over 'food tampering attack' after Aldi is forced to pull ... trends now
Packs of 99p Aldi tortilla wraps are being pulled from the shelves amid a police investigation into fears they have been deliberately tampered with.
The Government's Food Standards Agency watchdog warned that 'metal' could be present in the wraps after they could have been sabotaged.
It said Signature Flatbreads UK, the makers of the Village Bakery 8 Tortilla Wraps, are 'recalling the product and are working with the relevant food and police agencies to investigate the cause of the contamination'.
The FSA official notice said yesterday: 'Signature Flatbreads UK is taking the precautionary step of recalling Village Bakery 8 Tortilla Wraps White because of a possible presence of metal, as the product may have been tampered with.
'The possible presence of metal makes this product unsafe to eat.'

They added, however, that the recall is not linked to any similar recent notices relating to metal contamination.
Another notice issued at the weekend by the FSA for the 'possible presence of metal' concerned bags of Taj Chopped Spinach, costing about £1.50 a bag, on sale in Asda.
The tortilla wraps notice today said: 'No other Aldi or Signature Flatbreads UK products are affected.'
The FSA said the affected Village Bakery 8 Tortilla Wraps, made by Signature Flatbreads UK, come eight to a pack, weighing 62g, with a 'best before' date covering all dates up to and including 29 April 2024.
