If a few kaas tostis (cheese toasties/grilled cheese sandwiches) are an integral part of your daily Dutch lunch, you might want to give them a miss, especially if you bought them from Jumbo. 🧀

Jumbo has just released an important safety warning, notifying customers that certain cheese slices may contain tiny pieces of hard plastic.

As these are hazardous to your health, the Dutch supermarket has now started recalling these products.

Which cheese should you be worried about?

The warning currently applies to a range of cheese slices, pictured below. 👇
