The supermarkets have issued an urgent food recall on a selection of brown rolls after they were found to pose a possible health risk.
Asda and Sainsbury’s have warned consumers with a soya allergy to not consume the bread product.
Food Standards Scotland (FSS) also alerted Britons of the food recall, advising customers to avoid eating them.
They said: “McGhee’s Family Bakers are recalling packs of six Scottish Brown Rolls.
“Due to a packaging error, several packs include white rolls which contain soya. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to soya.”

The FSS added: “This product may contain soya making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to soya. If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to soya do not eat it.
“Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. No other McGhee’s Family Bakers products are known to be affected.”
It is said that Asda and Sainsbury’s have been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations which will inform members of the recall.
The bread rolls are currently out of stock on multiple supermarket websites, including Tesco.
