The yogurts were produced by Yeo Valley for various supermarkets

Five UK supermarkets have been warned to take thousands of pots of yogurt off their shelves amid concerns they may contain pieces of rubber.

The yogurts, supplied by Yeo Valley but mostly sold under own-brand labels, pose a “possible risk” to health, the Food Standards Agency said.

The products in question are sold at Asda, Co-operative, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose.
