Baby food manufacturers have been urged to change the way they package their products amid fears over cancer.
The European Food Safety Authority says it has found traces of a potentially dangerous chemical in some jars. Officials said there was no need for parents to stop giving their children food from jars because the cancer risk is extremely low. However, they recommended that manufacturers consider introducing safer packaging.

The chemical, semicarbazide (SEM), has been found in very small quantities in some jars of food. The authority said the chemical was not found in any particular type of food but rather food that was packaged in a specific way.
