Tesco Digestive Biscuit Recall Notice Advises Consumers Not To Eat The Recalled Product

“If you’ve bought the affected product, please don’t eat it,” the recall notice says. “Instead, return it to a Tesco store where a full refund will be given.”

No receipt is required for the refund. 

Point-of-sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that sell the product, the notice said.

The recall notice did not state how the issue was discovered, what caused the issue or if there have been any customers affected by the recall so far. 

The company is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes end in class action lawsuits.

For more information, customers can contact Tesco Customer Services at 0800 505 555.

The news comes after Tesco Hog Roast Style Pork with Apple Sauce was pulled from shelves across the United Kingdom in February after salmonella was detected in the crackling.
