Tesco Urgently Recalls Two Chocolate Bars Over ‘Health Risk’ Concerns
In a recent development, Tesco has issued an urgent product recall for two of its chocolate bars due to potential health risks. The affected products are the Tesco Nutty Nougat Caramel Chocolate Bars Multipack, 6 x 40g, and the Tesco Dreamy Caramel Chocolate Bars Multipack, 6 x 40g. Customers are advised not to consume these products as they may pose a threat to individuals with peanut allergies.
The recall was initiated as there is a risk of peanuts not being properly listed as an ingredient in the products, making them unsafe for those with peanut allergies. The Tesco spokesperson emphasized the importance of this recall, stating that it could lead to serious health issues for individuals with peanut allergies.
If anyone experiences symptoms of an allergic reaction after consuming these chocolate bars, such as swelling of the lips, difficulty breathing, or skin discoloration, they should seek immediate medical attention by calling 999. Additionally, individuals with serious allergic reactions should use an adrenaline auto-injector and contact emergency services.
Customers who have purchased the affected products are advised to return them to any Tesco store for a full refund. Receipts are not required for the refund process. For further information, individuals can contact Tesco Customer Services at 0800 505 555.
