Don't let contaminated food ruin your ChristMoth

Products recalled following health and safety concerns

Tesco has recalled a number of products due to the presence of moths and plastic balls.

On Thursday (14 December) the company recalled a batch of Tesco Finest Apple & Cranberry Stuffing Mix, which has been deemed 'unfit for human consumption' by the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

It is understood moths may have got into the stuffing mix through one of the raw ingredients.

The stuffing batch has a best before date of September 2024.

Customers can return the 130g packets without a receipt for a full refund.

Tesco apologised for any inconvenience caused.

Meanwhile, on Friday (15 December), small rubber balls were found in tins of baked beans from Asda, Sainsbury’s and Tesco.

Customers have been warned not to eat the affected products, which have been recalled by food producers Princes Group.

The balls, about 2.5cm in diameter, are a choking hazard, the recall notice said.

The recalled products include baked beans, baked beans with sausages and bean salad.

The FSA is telling anyone who has bought any of the affected products 'do not eat them'.

The products - relevant for those on Island - which may contain the balls include:

  • Branston Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce - 4 x 410g Plastic Wrapped - Best before December 2025, batch code 3338
  • Sainsburys Baked Beans & Pork Sausages in Tomato Sauce - 400g - Best before November 2025, batch code 3312
  • Tesco Mixed Bean Salad in Vinaigrette - 400g - Best before October 2025, batch code 3299
  • Tesco Baked Beans & Pork Sausages in Tomato Sauce - 395g - Best before November 2025, batch code 3312
  •  

The recall notices only apply to products with the specific best before dates and batch codes listed.

No receipt is needed to get a refund.
