Tesco has issued an urgent “do not eat” warning and is recalling two of its own-branded chocolate bar multipacks due to a “possible health risk”.

Tesco Nutty Nougat Caramel Chocolate Bars Multipack and Tesco Dreamy Caramel Chocolate Bars Multipack are being recalled by the supermarket because they contain peanuts, which are not mentioned on the label.

This “mispack” means the products are a “possible health risk” for anyone with an allergy to peanuts, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has reported.

What are FSA allergy alerts?

The FSA explained: “Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold. Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).

“Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.

“When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert.”
