Allergy Alert: Supermarkets Recall Foods Due to Hidden Ingredients
4 Sep
Summary
- Tesco Finest Caesar & Smoked Bacon Coleslaw recalled for containing undeclared mustard.
- Waitrose Rhubarb Crumble recalled for containing undeclared gluten.
- Both supermarkets offer full refunds for affected products upon return.
Tesco has initiated an urgent recall of its Finest Caesar & Smoked Bacon Coleslaw, specifically 270g packs with a use-by date of September 4. The reason for the recall is that some of these packs may contain Tesco Finest Four Cheese Potato Salad, which includes mustard not declared on the label. This poses a significant health risk to individuals with mustard allergies. Customers with the affected product are advised not to consume it and can return it to any Tesco store for a full refund without needing a receipt.
Waitrose & Partners is also recalling its Rhubarb Crumble (500g, use-by date August 19, 2026) due to undeclared oats, which contain gluten. This mislabelling presents a health hazard for individuals with oat or gluten allergies, or those with coeliac disease. Customers are urged not to eat the product if they have these sensitivities and to return it to the store for a full refund. No other Tesco or Waitrose products are affected by these recalls.
