Overview
- The Food Standards Agency issued an allergy alert as all batch codes and dates of Tesco Free From Breadcrumbs (170g) contain undeclared wheat (gluten).
- Consumers with coeliac disease or wheat/gluten allergies are told not to eat the product and to take it back to any Tesco store for a refund.
- Tesco says no other products are affected, has apologised to customers, and has notified allergy support organisations as part of the recall process.
- Media reports note the scope includes all best-before dates reported up to and including January 2027, with the item removed from sale in stores and online.
- The incident highlights risks in allergen labelling for “Free From” lines, as other retailers including M&S and Aldi issued separate allergen-related recalls this week.
