Tesco has issued an urgent recall for a popular Christmas dinner item due to a potential safety issue. The supermarket is recalling its Tesco Red Cabbage and Apple 300G because of incorrect labelling on the package that could make the product unsafe for consumption.
This festive favourite, often enjoyed during Christmas meals, has led Tesco to act swiftly for the safety of its customers. The retailer has apologised for any inconvenience caused and is advising consumers to check their fridges for the specified product.
Due to a packaging error, the affected items incorrectly display a Use By date of December 29, when the correct date should be December 11. This mistake could lead to the red cabbage and apple mix being consumed past its intended shelf life, posing a health risk.
Customers who have purchased the product are advised not to eat it. Instead, they are asked to return it to any Tesco store where they will be given a full refund without the need for a receipt. For further help, individuals can contact Tesco Customer Service on 0800 505 555, reports Kent Live.
Following a separate product recall by another major supermarket chain, a wellness supplement has been hastily withdrawn from sale over fears it could contain small stones and pieces of metal. The product in question, ZOE's Daily 30+ 7 Day, is a prominent wellness label launched by Professor Tim Spector.
It was swiftly recalled as the presence of foreign objects would render it "unsafe to eat". Waitrose has acted promptly to remove the item from its shelves "because it may contain small stones and small pieces of metal," as confirmed in a warning by the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
The food watchdog has deemed this product unfit for consumption. The supplement, a mix of seeds and spices intended to be sprinkled on meals, aims to help consumers incorporate more than 30 plants into their weekly diet, including herbs, spices, fruits, and vegetables.
However, swallowing small, hard objects like stones can present a choking risk, especially for young children. This isn't the first time that shards of metal or stones have been found in food products.
In October, Marks and Spencer had to recall batches of butternut squash soup due to concerns they contained pieces of metal.
