Tesco has recalled its own-label Free From Gluten & Wheat Breadcrumbs because they contain gluten.
This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, or with coeliac disease.
All batch codes and best before dates of the 170g pouches are affected.
Tesco has posted a notice in stores, urging shoppers who have an allergy or intolerance to wheat who have purchased the affected product not to eat it.
Instead, they should return it to any Tesco store for a full refund, the notice advises. No receipt is required.
For further enquiries, shoppers can visit the Contact page of the supermarket’s website.
The FSA said it had advised Tesco to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.
“We’re sorry for any inconvenience,” said Tesco.
This isn’t the only product recall Tesco has issued to shoppers over recent weeks. The supermarket last month issued a recall of its own-label Stir Fry Tikka Chicken meal 650g after undeclared egg and mustard were discovered in the sauce sachet.
Earlier this month, Tesco recalled a toy that featured on a Peppa Pig magazine because of the choking hazard it posed to children under three.
Issue 419 of the magazine, which went on sale on 17 September and was intended for children aged three to seven years old, came with a set of plastic keys.
However, the magazine’s publisher, Story House Egmont, urged customers to throw away the toy after discovering the keys may come apart, due to a manufacturing fault.
