Tesco has issued an urgent recall for a line of tablets over fears they contain an illegal amount of chemical ingredient.
Customers are being asked to return Tesco Health Omega 3 Fish Oil 30, 90 and 240 capsules after discovering raised levels of glycidol. The amount of glycidol contained in the capsules is above the legal limit.
Shoppers who have followed the dosage advice are urged not to panic as the raised levels shouldn't affect their health.
