Tesco recalls pies over undeclared milk allergy risk

Tesco has recalled batches of its Steak and Guinness Pie and Steak and Guinness Mini Pies because they contain milk that is not declared on the label. The undeclared ingredient could pose a risk to anyone with a milk allergy or intolerance.

The recall covers Tesco 6 Steak and Guinness Mini Pies in 198g packs and Tesco Steak and Guinness Pie in 200g packs. All 'use by' dates up to and including 23 November 2026 are affected.

What Tesco said

In a statement, Tesco said: "We're recalling specific date codes of Tesco 6 Steak and Guinness Mini Pies 198g and Tesco Steak and Guinness Pie 200g. This is due to undeclared milk in the product, which if eaten, could pose a risk to those with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents."

The supermarket added: "No other products sold at Tesco are affected by this recall. If you've bought an affected product and have an allergy to, and/or intolerance of milk, please don't eat it. Instead, return it to a Tesco store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required."

Food Standards Agency alert

The warning was also shared by the Food Standards Agency, which said Tesco has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations so they can inform their members about the recall.

The agency noted that the company has issued a recall notice to customers explaining why the products are being recalled and what to do if they have bought them. It advised anyone with a milk allergy or intolerance not to eat the products and to return them to the store where they were bought for a full refund, with no receipt required.
