Tesco issues urgent recall over popular Christmas snack due to allergy fears

Tesco has issued an urgent recall on one of their Christmas foods.

The supermarket has asked customers to be aware if they have purchased their Tesco Finest Festive Belgian Dark Chocolate Brazil Nuts.

Issuing the recall last night, anyone with the nuts has been told to return them, due to the possible inclusion of sulphur dioxide.

In a statement by the Food Standards Agency, the product has been given an incorrect label meant for the Tesco Finest Festive Fruit and Nut Selection.

"This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites.

"The correctly packed Tesco Finest Festive Fruit and Nut Selection product is not affected by this recall."

Anyone with these items can take them into Tesco and will receive a full refund.

You can find more details of the exact nut batch below:

Tesco Finest Festive Belgian Dark Chocolate Brazil Nuts

  • Pack size - 225g

  • Batch code - L0075004

  • Best before - End: May 2021

  • Allergens - Sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites
