Our supplier has advised us of the possible presence of small pieces of thin metal wire in the biscuit ingredient which is used in the biscuit base of these cheesecakes.

We have removed the products from sale and are asking any customers who have them at home to return them to any M&S Store (except Outlets) where a full refund will be given.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes. No other Marks & Spencer products are affected.
