Food recalls issued by Tesco and Lidl over allergy fears – full list

Food recall alerts issued by the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) include an array of snacks sold by British supermarket giants.

Tesco and Lidl customers are among those affected by recent recalls after products were withdrawn from shelves over health fears.

Shoppers who have already purchased items have been urged not to eat them and instead, return them to the place of purchase.

It comes following concerns that the items pose a “possible health risk” to consumers with allergies or intolerances.

Express.co.uk has rounded up a full list of products recalled by the retailers in June 2023.

Tesco

Tesco has urged customers to return a range of its own-brand Free From Snacks because of undeclared gluten.

Free From Onion Rings, Free From Cheese Flavour Balls, and Free From Bacon Rashers are all included in the recall because the allergen is not mentioned on the labels.

According to the FSA, this means the products are a possible health risk for anyone with coeliac disease, and/or an allergy or intolerance to gluten.
