Food Alert - Friday. Tesco sandwiches

[Penny]

Tesco has withdrawn four varieties of its sandwiches with 'use by' dates of 5 March 2010 and 6 March 2010, because the lettuce used in the sandwiches might be contaminated with slug pellets.

Tesco has been told by the manufacturer of the sandwiches that slug pellets were found in the raw Lollo Bionda lettuce used for the sandwiches. As a precautionary measure, Tesco has withdrawn the sandwiches from sale in case any residues of the pellets had got through the washing and preparation stage to final lettuce leaves in the sandwiches.

Tesco has put an immediate till block on all four products. This means that no more of the products can be sold.

Tesco will be displaying point-of-sale notices in stores and publishing the notice onto its website, explaining to customers why the products have been withdrawn. If you have bought any of the affected sandwiches you can return them for a full refund.
