Tesco has recalled two steak and Guinness pie products because they contain milk that is not declared on the label, making them a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents. The supermarket chain has told customers who have bought the affected products to return them to any store for a full refund, with no receipt required.
Affected products and date codes
The recall covers two products: Tesco 6 Steak & Guinness Mini Pies (198g) and Tesco Steak and Guinness Pie (200g). All 'use by' dates up to and including 23 November 2026 are affected.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued an allergy alert, stating: "These products contain milk making them a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to milk or intolerance to milk or milk constituents." The FSA added that Tesco has been advised to contact relevant allergy support organisations to inform their members about the recall.
What customers should do
In its recall notice, Tesco said: "If you've bought one of the affected products and are intolerant or have an allergy to milk or milk constituents, please don't eat it. Instead, return the product to any Tesco store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required."
Tesco confirmed that no other products are affected by this recall and apologised for any inconvenience caused. Shoppers seeking more information can contact Tesco Customer Services via its contact us page.
About product recalls
The FSA regularly issues product recalls when there is a potential problem with a food product. Products may be "withdrawn" from shelves or "recalled" when customers are asked to return them. When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA issues an Allergy Alert.
