Tesco is recalling all batches of a food product due to a serious health risk.

The supermarket is asking customers to return Tesco Free From Breadcrumbs (170g) – as they contain wheat (gluten) which is not mentioned on the ingredient label. This could prompt an allergic reaction in anyone with an allergy or intolerance to gluten, including those with coeliac disease.

The recall has been issued for all dates and batch codes of the product.

Customers who have purchased the breadcrumbs can return them to any Tesco store for a full refund. Those with an allergy or intolerance to gluten have been urged not to consume the product.

The supermarket said: “If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, or coeliac disease do not eat it. Instead, return it to any Tesco store for a full refund.

“No receipt is required. For more information contact Tesco Customer Services at tesco.com/help/contact.”

Coeliac disease is a condition where your immune system attacks your own tissues when you eat gluten. It can cause a a number of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe, including diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating.

Tesco has been advised by the Food Standards Agency to contact relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell its members about the recall.
