Dunnes Stores Tortilla Wraps Recalled Over Possible Metal Contamination

Metal in Your Wraps? Dunnes Stores Tortilla Wraps Recalled

Biting into a tortilla wrap and finding something crunchy that definitely isn't meant to be there is nobody's idea of a good time. Dunnes Stores has issued a recall on its 8 Plain Tortilla Wraps after reports that the product may contain small pieces of metal. This is a straightforward safety issue -- metal fragments in food can cause injury to your mouth, throat, or digestive tract -- so if you've got these in your kitchen, stop and read on.

What's Affected

The recall is limited to one specific product:

• Dunnes Stores 8 Plain Tortilla Wraps -- 512g
• Best before dates: 29 May 2026, 30 May 2026, and 31 May 2026

Here's the important detail: this recall only affects products sold in Northern Ireland. If you bought your wraps elsewhere in the UK or Ireland, this particular alert doesn't apply to you. But if you're in Northern Ireland and you've picked up a pack of these recently, it's time to check those dates.

What You Should Do

Pretty simple on this one:

• Do not eat the wraps if they match the product description and best before dates above.
• Return them to your nearest Dunnes Stores for a full refund. You won't need a receipt.
• If you've already eaten some and notice anything unusual -- pain in your mouth or throat, stomach discomfort, or anything that feels off -- seek medical advice and mention the recall.
• Have a quick look at any wraps you may have already opened and partially used. If the pack matches the affected dates, bin any remaining wraps to be safe.

Metal contamination in food is relatively rare, but when it does happen, it tends to come from equipment issues during manufacturing. The good news is that recalls like this catch the problem before most affected products are consumed.

Stay Informed

Food safety isn't always glamorous, but it's always important. A recall like this is a reminder to glance at product details when you hear about alerts -- it takes thirty seconds to check a best before date against a recall notice, and it could save you a trip to A&E. Stay tuned here for the latest food safety news, and keep those cupboards checked.
