Tesco is recalling its Chinese-inspired Special Fried Rice ready meal because it contains wheat, which is not declared on the packaging. This undeclared ingredient poses a potential health risk to consumers with wheat or gluten allergies, or coeliac disease. The specific batch affected by this recall has a 'use by' date of February 2, 2026.
Customers who have purchased this product are advised not to consume it if they have relevant allergies or intolerances. They can return the meal to any Tesco store for a full refund. A receipt is not required for this return. Tesco has contacted relevant allergy support organizations to inform their members.
Product recalls are conducted when there is a risk to consumers, often due to incorrect or missing allergen information on packaging. The Food Standards Agency issues these recalls to ensure consumer safety. Another recent recall involved a vegetable korma due to undeclared nuts.
