Major UK supermarkets including Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, and Ocado have issued an urgent product recall for Ferrero's Frozen Nutella Croissants, sold in packs of four, due to the risk of metal contamination. Customers are advised not to consume the product and return it to the store for a full refund.
Affected Batch Codes and Best-Before Dates
The recall affects specific batches with batch codes L126Z39 and L127Z39, and best-before dates of May 6, 2027 and May 7, 2027. The products were distributed to multiple retailers across the UK.
