Tesco has issued an urgent product recall for a popular lunch item over serious allergy concerns. The supermarket giant is telling customers to return the product to stores for a full refund, with no receipt necessary.
What Product Is Being Recalled?
The recall specifically affects the Tesco Celery Fruit and Nut Salad 300g with a use-by date of December 2, 2025. The product has been found to contain mustard within its mayonnaise component, a potential danger that is not declared on the label.
This poses a significant health risk to individuals who have an allergy or intolerance to mustard. Tesco has explicitly warned these customers: "Do NOT eat" the affected salad.
What Should Customers Do?
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Tesco have provided clear instructions for shoppers who have purchased the product. If you have a mustard allergy or intolerance, you should not consume the salad.
Instead, you are advised to return it to any Tesco store. A full refund will be provided, and you do not need to present a receipt to receive it. Tesco has apologised for any inconvenience caused by this recall.
Supermarket's Wider Response
In its product recall notice, Tesco confirmed it is taking comprehensive action. The company is directly recalling the product from customers and has also contacted relevant allergy support organisations. These groups will inform their members about the potential hazard.
To ensure the message reaches in-store shoppers, Tesco has issued point-of-sale notices within its stores. The supermarket has confirmed that no other Tesco products are affected by this specific recall.
