Tesco recalls favorite Christmas dinner over fears customers will fall ill | UK News

A Christmas dinner favorite has been recalled by Tesco over fears customers could fall ill after eating it.

The supermarket has recalled its 300g packs of Tesco red cabbage and apple due to a packaging error.

The affected packs incorrectly display a use-by date of December 29, instead of the correct date of December 11.

Consuming the product beyond its shelf life poses a potential health risk, with the supermarket urging customers not to eat it.

People who purchased the product can return to any Tesco store for a full refund.

Tesco told its customers: “An extension of the use-by date could pose a health risk if the product is stored beyond the correct shelf life stated on the product.

“If you have purchased the affected product, please do not eat it. Instead, return it to any Tesco store for a full refund. No receipt is required.

“No other Tesco products are affected by this issue.”

The UK Food Standards Agency said: “An extension of the use-by date could pose a health risk if the product is kept beyond its correct shelf life.

“Tesco is recalling the above product. The company has issued a recall notice to its customers.

“This notice tells customers why the product is being recalled and tells them what to do if they have purchased the product. Please see the attached notice.
