A Tesco statement, posted by the Food Standards Agency and published on the Chartered Trading Standards Institute website read: “If you have bought the affected products and have an allergy or intolerance to cashew nuts, do not eat it. Instead return it to the nearest Tesco store for a refund (no receipt is required).”
“Tesco is recalling the above product from customers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice in stores.”
No other Tesco products are known to be affected by this issue.
