TESCO is urgently recalling a popular meal over a dangerous potential health risk.
The supermarket giant’s Stir Fry Tikka Chicken has been taken off shelves due to undeclared egg and mustard, not mentioned on the label.
This poses a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to egg or mustard, the recall issued through the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said.
The undeclared ingredients are located in the sauce sachet element of the product, the listing added.
Customers have been warned not to consume the product and instead return it to any Tesco store for a full refund.
Affected batches of the 650g Tesco Stir Fry Tikka Chicken are ones with a use-by date of 7 September, 2025.
You do not require a receipt to gain the refund, the recall warning stated.
Tesco apologised for “any inconvenience caused” by the recall, adding that “no other Tesco products” were affected.
Food items may sometimes be recalled if there is “a problem with the product that means it should not be sold”, the FSA said.
It added: “Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.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.”
This comes after Tesco issued a recall for a popular beauty product last month.
The supermarket giant’s Kind & Pure Facial Cleansing Wipes were pulled from shelves due to detection of a microbiological risk they have been found to contain.
Following testing, Pluralibacter gergoviae was found in batches of the product.
This made the product potentially unsafe to use, particularly for those vulnerable or with a compromised skin barrier.
More recently, a brand of popular children’s sweets was pulled from shelves over fears it could contained additives banned in the UK.
Your product recall rights
Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know.
Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods.
As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action.
But it’s often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk.
If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer’s website to see if a safety notice has been issued.
When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you – the customer – to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don’t there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault.
If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer.
They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice.
In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected.
You should not be charged for any recall work – such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item
Jolly Rancher Block Bags sold between October 2024 and May 2025 in TK Maxx and Homesense stores were affected by the recall.
Shoppers who purchased the product during this period are urged not to consume the sweets and to either return it to the store or dispose of it safely at home.
