Urgent Allergy Alert for Popular £2.20 Sweet Treat at Tesco
Soya, a highly popular component in processed foods, finds extensive usage in various culinary applications, with soya flour being particularly prevalent in the creation of delectable baked goods such as bread and cakes.
As a result, individuals who have an allergy to soya should exercise caution if they happen to handle the package containing the ‘Tesco 18 Cupcakes’.
The cakes that have been impacted are labeled with a batch code of 24026 and should be consumed before February 27, 2024.
The Food Standards Agency has issued a recall notice for Tesco 18 Cupcakes due to a packaging error where some packs have been mistakenly filled with Tesco 12 Party Cupcakes. These party cupcakes contain soya as an ingredient, which unfortunately was not properly indicated on the product label.
This statement implies that if someone has a soy allergy, the product could potentially pose a health risk to them.
Tesco has issued a statement advising customers not to consume the product in question and urging them to promptly return it to the store for a full refund. The company has also clarified that customers do not need to present a receipt in order to receive their refund.
