Tesco withdraws all date codes of Tesco Finest Triple Layer Chocolate Indulgence Cake due to a labelling error

Wednesday 9 July 2008

Allergen: Nuts (Hazelnuts)

Ref: AG/2008

Product

Tesco Finest Triple Layer Chocolate Indulgence Cake

Risk

Although hazelnuts are correctly identified in the ingredient list on the label, the allergy advice incorrectly states 'Recipe: No nuts'. This makes this product a potential health risk for people with an allergy to nuts.

Product identification

Product name: Tesco Finest Triple Layer Chocolate Indulgence Cake (Serves 20)
Best before: all date codes

Action taken by the company

Tesco has withdrawn the product from sale and contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will inform their at-risk members of the withdrawal. Notices are being displayed in all stores to alert consumers to the reasons for the withdrawal, and the actions they can take if they have purchased the product.

No other Tesco products are known to be affected.

Advice to consumers

Customers with an allergy to nuts are advised not to eat the product.
