A major supermarket is recalling its mince pies over the risk they could contain pieces of dried glue.
Tesco is recalling its Finest All Butter Pastry Mince Pies over concerns that dried glue from the packaging could have ended up inside the Christmas treats.
They say the glue makes the mince pies unsafe to eat.
The recall notice affects the six-pack of Finest mince pies with the best before dates of October 4, October 26, November 2 and November 10.
A Food Standards Agency spokesperson said: ‘If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, return it to any store for a full refund.
‘For more information contact Tesco customer service team.’
If you’ve bought these mince pies, you can return them to any Tesco branch for a full refund and you won’t need a receipt.
The Tesco recall comes days after other top UK supermarkets issued an urgent product recall after over 50 food items were deemed unsafe to eat.
The Food Standards Agency warned that products sold at Aldi, Spar and Domino’s contained a potential peanut contamination that could have been ‘life threatening’ for those with allergies.
The contaminated items included a garlic and herb dip from Aldi, Domino’s dip pots, sandwich fillers and potato salad from Booker, and various Spar sandwiches, wraps, and pasta salads.
In a bizarre turn of events, some of the Domino’s dips – that are a huge favourite with pizza-lovers – were being re-sold on eBay for nearly £10,000.
