Tesco, Aldi and Costa recall popular food items - 'do not eat' them

Tesco, Aldi, and Costa Coffee have recalled several items that could be potentially unsafe for consumption due to containing unlisted allergens.

Customers who have shopped at any of these outlets have been in-turn urged to check their shopping for certain products, to avoid any allergens being unknowingly consumed.

The presence of eggs and nuts, such as walnuts, are all among the ingredients that have not been listed on certain items due to manufacturing errors - which could pose a threat to people with allergies and intolerances.

Other unsafe contents for some include the likes of mustard and sulphites. The Mirror reports that the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has published a list of the specific items, with seven in total being recalled.

Customers who may have purchased any of these products are asked to return them to their point of purchase for a full refund - with or without a receipt - should they be worried about allergens.

Costa Coffee:

British Roast Chicken Salad Sandwich -

This sandwich is being recalled as it includes mustard unlisted on the label, making it potentially harmful to those intolerant to the spice. The use-by dates for this item of concern are September 11 to September 16 (inclusive).

No other Costa products are said to be affected.

Aldi:

Bramwells Tartare Sauce -

The use-by date on this particular item is April 2023 and its size is 175g. The FSA advised customers: "If you have bought the above product and have a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites, do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.

"Aldi is recalling Bramwells Tartare Sauce because it contains sulphites which is not mentioned on the label. Due to mis-packing, Bramwells Tartare Sauce labels have been incorrectly applied to Bramwells Horseradish Sauce.

"This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites."

Aldi's notice read: "Customers are asked to return this product to their nearest store, where a full refund will be given. We apologise that this product did not meet our normal high standards and thank you for your co-operation."

The supermarket advised its customers to visit aldi.co.uk or contact it's customer service for more information.

Lotte Pepero Snowy -

The use-by date on this item is May 1 and May 2, 2023 and its packets size is 32g. These biscuit sticks have been recalled due to containing unlisted peanuts missing from the label.

Unisnacks Europe Limited is recalling the item from customers and is contacting the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers.

Tesco:

Tesco 'Free From' Strawberry Cheesecake -

The pack size is 2 x 100g and all use-by dates are included.

Wicked Kitchen Millionaire Sundae -

The pack size is 100g and all use-by dates are included.

Wicked Kitchen Strawberry and Vanilla Cheesecake -

The pack size is 100g and all use-by dates are included.

Wicked Kitchen Chocolate and Vanilla Cheesecake -

The pack size is 100g and all use-by dates are included.

The supermarket giant is recalling all of these either gluten-free or vegan products as they contain traces of walnuts unlisted on the label. Anyone with an allergy to nuts could face a possible risk to health.
