Tesco has issued an urgent recall for multiple lunch items due to potential deadly contamination, warning millions of customers to avoid consuming the affected products. The supermarket giant has advised shoppers to return the items for a full refund.
Which Products Are Affected?
The recall involves several popular lunch products, including sandwiches, wraps, and salads, sold in Tesco stores nationwide. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has confirmed the presence of dangerous bacteria, prompting immediate action.
What Should Customers Do?
If you have purchased any of the recalled items, do not eat them. Instead, return them to your nearest Tesco store for a full refund. No receipt is required.
Why Is This Recall So Serious?
The contamination poses a severe health risk, particularly to vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of exposure may include severe stomach cramps, vomiting, and fever.
Tesco's Response
A Tesco spokesperson stated: "We are taking this matter extremely seriously and have removed all affected products from shelves. Customer safety is our top priority."
The FSA is investigating the source of the contamination, and further updates will be issued as the situation develops.
