Tesco has issued an urgent recall for two brands of popular chocolate bars as they warned the products could pose a “possible health risk”.
The British supermarket chain has advised customers to return the affected items to the supermarket for a full refund.
The affected items include the 6 X 40g multipacks of Tesco Nutty Nougat Caramel Chocolate Bars with a best before date of 28 February 2025, and Tesco Dreamy Caramel Chocolate Bars with a date of 31 January 2025 or 28 February 2025.
According to the supermarket, there is a “risk” of peanuts not being declared as an ingredient after a mispackaging error.
As a result, the products are a considerable health risk to anyone who suffers from a peanut allergy.
A statement from Tesco reads: “We are recalling specific date codes of our Tesco Nutty Nougat Caramel Chocolate Bars Multipack 6 X 40g and Tesco Dreamy Caramel Chocolate Bars Multipack 6 X 40g.
“Due to a mispack, there is a risk of peanuts not being declared as an ingredient in the product.
“This poses a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts.”
