Tesco, the supermarket behemoth, has issued a “don’t eat it” warning to customers after recalling a batch of its festive party food.
The recall concerns a specific date code of Tesco 8 Chicken Tsukune Skewers, 280g, due to an incorrect Use by Date code of December 23, 2024, printed on the packs instead of December 10, 2024, reports the Express.
This misprint could pose a health risk if the product is kept beyond its correct shelf life.
Customers are being strongly advised not to consume the skewers if they have purchased them.
