Tesco issues urgent alert over 'unsafe' popular snack products sold across Ireland

Tesco has issued an urgent alert over potentially "unsafe" snack products.

The notice is in place for the 120g Tesco Mini Breadsticks 6 pack.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland said that there may be undeclared sesame in the products.

This could pose a risk to customers who are allergic or intolerant to sesame.

The batch codes affected by the notice are U3032; U3033; U3041; U3042; U3043; U3051; U3052 and U3053.

While the products have a best before date of 10/2021.

A FSAI spokesman said: "Due to a manufacturing error, there is a possibility that some packs of Tesco Mini Breadsticks 6 Pack may have been packed with a sesame coating that is not declared on the list of ingredients.

"This may make the affected batch unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of sesame."

It comes after Dunnes Stores was forced to recall a popular yoghurt after it was sold when almost four months past its sell by date.

The batch of Plain Koko Smooth & Mellow was sold by Dunnes Stores from May 2, 2021.

The implicated batch should not be consumed as it is past its use-by date.

That use-by date is January 11 2021 - nearly four months ago.

Point-of-sale recall notices are displayed in stores which sold the implicated batch.

The key information is as follows

  • Product: Plain Koko Smooth & Mellow yoghurt

  • Size: 500g

  • Batch code: 11012021;

  • Use-by date: 11th January 2021

  • Country of Origin: United Kingdom
