Red-faced Sainbury’s bosses have admitted to an embarrassing spelling mistake on one of their products.

The unfortunate error was spotted by an eagle-eyed customer in Essex.

The father-of-two, who noticed the error at a superstore in Springfield, said: ‘I was shocked to find that such a major high street retailer couldn’t spell such a simple word. 

‘How many people must have seen that label before they went on the shelves? 

‘What example does this show to our kids? 

‘They’ve stitched themselves up.’
