Tesco Takeaway Hot Indian Meal For 2

Pack size: 1.67kg

Allergens: Nuts (cashew)

The supermarket giant - which has numerous outlets in Bristol - has told customers they will receive a full refund when they return the item.

Worryingly, the product contained cashew nuts which were not declared on the label.

A Food Standards Agency spokesperson said: "Tesco is recalling Tesco Takeaway Hot Indian Meal for 2 because it contains cashew nuts which are not mentioned on the outer packaging.

"Some packs of the product may have been incorrectly packed with Chicken Korma which contains cashew nuts. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to nuts."

Affected items have a used by date of October 19 and pack 1.67kg, Tesco confirmed.

You can return the takeaway meal to the store where it was bought for a full refund, the FSA adds in its product recall listing, which you can view online.
