Police in Newcastle, England are investigating how prescription drugs ended up among children's sweets at a factory.

The pills were discovered by staff among Jelly Tots at the Nestlé plant in the North-East city.

However Nestlé say there is no danger to the public as the drugs were discovered before they were packaged.

A spokesperson for the company said: "We can confirm that due to our rigorous quality procedures and immediate action, the incident was isolated and contained within our control."
