A batch of vegetarian sausages named Little Willies has been recalled after the manufacturer warned they may contain small pieces of plastic packaging.

De Vegetarische Slager said a production fault meant the sausages may have been contaminated and urged customers to take them back to the shop. The affected packs have a ‘best before’ date between April 10 and May 7.

The Lincolnshire-style soy-based sausages have also been recalled in Britain, where they are sold in supermarkets under the same name.

Customers can claim a refund by sending an email to the manufacturer at info@devegetarischeslager.nl with a photo of the packaging with the best before date showing. Alternatively, they can post the empty package in an unstamped envelope to De Vegetarische Slager, Antwoordnummer 10356, 4800 VB Breda.
