Tesco recalls chocolate desserts over fears they may contain pieces of plastic
The 538g dessert may contain clear plastic fragments, and Tesco says customers should not eat it and can return it for a full refund.
- On Thursday, The Food Safety Authority announced that Tesco is recalling its Tesco Finest Summer Edition Chocolate Affogato Dessert due to potential small pieces of clear plastic in the 538g product.
- The dessert has been deemed "unsafe to eat" because of clear plastic pieces from the packaging, affecting all batches with best before date codes up to and including April 2027.
- Shoppers can return the product to any Tesco store for a full refund, and customers are advised not to eat affected items, as "No other Tesco products are affected by this recall."
- The Food Standards Agency issued a "Food Alert for Action" to inform local authorities and consumers, providing details on specific actions such as removing impacted items from shelves.
- Authorities continue monitoring such issues, ensuring retailers implement product safety procedures for all consumers; recent actions also include a Dunnes Stores recall of Plain Tortilla Wraps announced last month.
