Cupcakes recalled in US over metal fragment contamination fears

A range of chocolate cupcakes is being recalled in eight US states because they may contain tiny fragments of metal mesh wire.

People are being told not to eat the multi-pack Tastykake products, which were on sale in over 500 Walmart shops.

The company which makes the cakes, Flowers Foods – one of the biggest US bakery brands – says it decided to recall the products after a vendor warned they could be contaminated.

No injuries have been reported.
