Supermarket giant Tesco has warned customers “don’t eat it” after recalling a batch of its festive party food.

Tesco is recalling a specific date code of Tesco 8 Chicken Tsukune Skewers, 280g.

This is due to an incorrect Use by Date code of December 23, 2024, printed on the packs instead of December 10, 2024.

The extension of the Use by Date code could pose a health risk, if the product is kept past the correct shelf life of the product.

Customers are being urged not to eat the skewers, if they have purchased them.

In other food recall news, Morrisons recently issued a recall on its crushed garlic.

The supermarket said an ingredient was omitted from the product which prevents microbiological growth, and therefore presents a potential risk to consumers.
