Tesco issues urgent 'do not eat' warning as it recalls popular crisp snacks
Tesco has issued an urgent warning to customers as it recalls a popular snack as it poses a risk to those with certain allergens.
The products recalled by the supermarket chain are its own brand Free From 150g packs of Onion Rings, Cheese Flavour Balls and Bacon Rashers crisps. These products claim on its packaging that they do not contain gluten, wheat or milk.
However, the recall is due to the products possibly containing gluten, which has not been declared. This poses a risk to those who have an allergen or intolerance to gluten or who have Celiac disease. This is a condition where your immune system attacks your own tissues when you eat gluten and it stops you from taking in nutrients. Tesco has urged shoppers who have purchased the product due to it being gluten-free to not eat it.
The products affected by the recall have the use by date of December 16 2023 and included all batch codes. Customers have been urged to return the products to their nearest Tesco supermarket for a full refund. If you have one of the recalled products, you will not need to have a receipt for the refund.
