Tesco has urgently pulled two of its Guinness products as shoppers have been told “do not eat”.
The supermarket giant has had to recall its Steak and Guinness Pie products from shelves after discovering that milk — a key allergen — was not declared on the packaging.
The labelling error means the pies could pose a serious health risk to anyone suffering from a milk allergy or intolerance.
The Food Standards Agency issued an alert confirming the recall, stating: “These products contain milk making them a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to milk or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.”
The supermarket chain is now asking all affected customers to bring the items back to their nearest store for a complete refund.
The two items covered by the recall are the Tesco Steak and Guinness Pie, sold in a 200g pack, and the Tesco 6 Steak & Guinness Mini Pies, which comes in a 198g pack.
Both products are affected across all use-by dates up to and including November 23.
In its recall notice, Tesco said: “We are recalling specific date codes of two Tesco Steak and Guiness Pie products, due to undeclared milk in these products.
“If eaten, they could pose a risk to those with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.”
Shoppers should check any recently purchased pies against these details before consuming them.
The retailer stated: “If you’ve bought one of the affected products and are intolerant or have an allergy to milk or milk constituents, please don’t eat it.
“Instead, return the product to any Tesco store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required.”
The company also reassured shoppers that no other Tesco products have been caught up in this recall.
Anyone seeking additional information has been directed to get in touch with Tesco Customer Services through the retailer’s website.
The Food Standards Agency played a central role in publicising the recall, confirming that Tesco had been advised to reach out to relevant allergy support organisations so they could inform their members about the issue.
The FSA said: “The company has also issued a recall notice to its customers.
“These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products.”
Tesco added: “We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused.”
