Overview
- Tesco’s recall follows an FSA allergy alert issued on 22 December after tests indicated the cupcakes may contain milk not listed on the label.
- Customers with a milk allergy or intolerance are told not to eat the product and to return it to any Tesco store for a full refund with no receipt required.
- The seasonal item has been removed from sale and from Tesco’s website across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
- Tesco has posted in‑store notices and was advised to notify allergy support organisations to reach affected consumers; the retailer says no other Tesco products are affected.
- The action comes after an earlier December recall of Tesco Aubergine Katsu Bao Buns for undeclared milk, highlighting recent allergen‑control issues reported in its free‑from range.
