Tesco and Waitrose recall separate food products after identifying a potential allergy risk, with customers being told not to eat the affected items. Tesco recalls certain coleslaw packs, while Waitrose recalls some rhubarb crumble products, according to the outlets.
The reports note that the withdrawals are precautionary due to allergy concerns linked to the specific products. The Independent and the Evening Standard both describe the recalls as urgent and advise consumers to follow the supermarkets’ instructions. While the outlets focus on the same general issue—potential allergens in particular packaged foods—the coverage differs in which retailer and product are highlighted, reflecting each company’s separate recall.
Overall, the shared details are that both supermarkets have issued product recalls affecting a coleslaw item from Tesco and a rhubarb crumble item from Waitrose, and that consumers should not consume the recalled batches while checks with retailers are carried out.
