The product affected is Tesco’s own brand 18 cupcakes. The batch in particular that is affected has the batch code of 24026 and the best before date of 27/02/24.

The cupcakes from this particular batch contain soya, which is not declared on the ingredients label. 

The lack of information on the label regarding the soya ingredient poses a risk to those with a soya allergy/intolerance. If consumed by those with intolerance or allergy, it could lead to serious illness.
