  • Tesco has recalled a 350g packet of Tesco Special Fried Rice due to undeclared wheat, with affected packs carrying a use-by date of February 2, 2026.
  • Customers should stop using affected products immediately and return them to the shop for a full refund, with point-of-sale notices and helplines providing guidance.
  • Infants and allergy sufferers face risks from Aptamil First Infant Formula due to cereulide toxin and undeclared allergens, while pet owners are warned over Lily's Kitchen dog food recalls, with FSA and OPSS issuing notices nationwide.
