Tesco issues urgent 'do not eat' frozen food warning

Supermarket giant Tesco has issued a warning to anybody who buys frozen food. The retailer says packs of a popular product could be 'unsafe', and have urged people not to eat them.

A batch of the supermarket giant's frozen croissants has been recalled as there may have been a mix-up. Certain packets of Tesco's All Butter croissants may contain almond croissants - and the nut will not be declared on the packaging.

A Facebook post from Tesco said: "We’re recalling one batch code of Tesco frozen All Butter Croissants x6 as they may contain Tesco frozen Almond Croissants. This means that almond won’t be declared on the packaging."

Anyone who has bought the item and has a nut allergy is advised to "please don’t eat it". The croissants can be returned to any Tesco store where a full refund will be given - even without a receipt.

The affected batch details are: Tesco frozen All Butter Croissants x6 (255G). The batch code is LL 111. No other batches are said to be affected.

Customers who have any further information are advised to call Tesco Customer Services. The ECHO reports the number is 0800 505 555.

Product recalls and safety notices are made by traders about products that have problems which could affect the safety of the consumer. You can find a list of those issued last week here.
