Tesco has issued a 'do not eat' warning and is recalling one of its products due to undeclared milk which could cause a possible health risk to customers.
The supermarket’s mixed fruit and nut contains milk which is not mentioned on the label making it a possible health risk to anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.
Tesco is recalling product from consumers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.
