Tesco and Waitrose have issued urgent product recalls for specific food items due to undeclared ingredients that pose a health risk to consumers. Customers are advised not to consume the affected products and to return them for a full refund.
Major UK supermarkets Tesco and Waitrose have initiated product recalls for specific food items following concerns regarding undeclared allergens. The recalls affect a coleslaw product sold at Tesco and a crumble product sold at Waitrose.

Retailers have issued a "do not eat" warning for the affected batches. Customers who have purchased these items are encouraged to return them to the store where they were bought to receive a full refund, regardless of whether they have a receipt. No illnesses have been officially linked to the consumption of these products at this time, but the recalls are being treated as a precautionary measure to ensure consumer safety.
