The supermarket has issued a recall
Tesco is recalling a dessert item as it has been deemed “unsafe to eat”. A Food Standards Agency (FSA) recall notice said that Tesco Finest Summer Edition Chocolate Affogato Dessert may contain pieces of plastic.
The affected product has a pack size of 538g and best-before dates of up to and including April 2027.
The FSA said: “This product may contain pieces of plastic, which makes the product unsafe to eat. Tesco is recalling the above product and has issued a recall notice to alert customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
“If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, return it to any Tesco store for a full refund. For further information, please visit Tesco’s contact Tesco page at: tesco.com/help/contact”
About product recalls and withdrawals
The FSA explained: “If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).
“The FSA issues Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued.
“This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.”
