Tesco has launched an urgent recall of a popular lunchtime product, warning customers that it poses a serious health risk to anyone with an egg allergy or intolerance.
The supermarket giant is pulling its own-brand Tesco Chicken & Stuffing Sandwich Filler (240g) from shelves after it was discovered the product contains egg which is not declared on the label.
Product Details
The affected product has a specific use-by date and batch code:
- Product: Tesco Chicken & Stuffing Sandwich Filler
- Pack size: 240g
- Use by: 15 May 2024
- Batch code: 9116
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a Point-of-Sale notice to customers, which will be displayed in all Tesco stores that sold the product. This notice explains to customers why the product is being recalled and tells them what to do if they have bought the item.
What Should Customers Do?
Tesco is urging anyone who has purchased the affected sandwich filler not to eat it. The advice is clear:
- Do not consume the product if you have an allergy or intolerance to egg.
- Return the item to any Tesco store for a full refund.
- You do not need your receipt to get your money back.
The supermarket has apologised for any inconvenience caused and has assured customers that they are taking immediate steps to rectify the labelling error.
