has issued an urgent recall for specific batches of its Tesco Finest Six All Butter Pastry Mince Pies due to potential health risks.
An important customer notice that appeared on both Tesco’s website and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) stated: “We are recalling specific date codes of Tesco Finest Six All Butter Pastry Mince Pies, due to the possible presence of small pieces of dry glue from the packaging.”
The recalled products are considered potentially hazardous due to the possibility of small pieces of dry glue being present in the pies, prompting the retail giant to take immediate action to safeguard customer health.
Customers who have purchased an item from one of the affected batches are instructed with a strong word of caution: “If you’ve bought an affected product, please don’t eat it. Instead, return it to a Tesco store for a refund.”
Notably, customers will not need a receipt to return the product, enabling a smooth and hassle-free refund process.
To locate the nearest Tesco for the return, customers can use the store locator available on Tesco’s website. In case further assistance is required or for additional information, Tesco has made their customer service number, 0800 50 5555, available for contact.
On the other hand, Waitrose has recalled two products—Easy to Cook Salmon En Croute (350g) and Easy to Cook Salmon and Sweet Potato Curry (500g)—due to undeclared allergens that could pose serious health risks for sensitive individuals.
Customers are advised not to consume these products and to return them for a full refund. The supermarket apologizes for any inconvenience and encourages anyone needing assistance to contact their customer service at 0800 188 884, selecting Option Four.
The affected items have best-before dates of October 2 and October 3, 2024.
