This isn't the first time that moths have cropped up in foodstuffs and prompted company recalls.

Tesco recalled one of its Christmas stuffing products in December because of the "possible presence of moths".

Its Tesco Finest Apple & Cranberry Stuffing Mix (130g), with a best before date of September 2024, had the presence of the insects.
