Tesco shoppers warned over 'unsafe' meat as supermarket admits to 'incorrect cooking'

The company failed to achieve proper cooking temperatures during production, making the traditional British delicacy "unsafe to eat".

The safety alert affects customers across all Tesco outlets where the compromised batch was distributed.

Customers who have already bought the affected product should not eat it and instead return it to their nearest Tesco branch.

The retailer has moved swiftly to reassure concerned shoppers about the scope of this food safety incident.

"No other Westaway Sausages products are affected by this recall. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused," Tesco said in an official statement.

For more information about the recall, customers can get in touch via Tesco's dedicated contact page: https://www.tesco.com/help/contact.

The supermarket's store locator tool remains available for those needing to identify their closest branch for returns.

The recall comes just days after Sainsbury's issued a food safety warning affecting shoppers in England, Scotland, and Wales.

The supermarket discovered that four batches of JS Free From Breaded Mini Fillets contain undeclared milk.

This makes them a "possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents", the Food Standards Agency (FSA) warned.

Sainsbury's discovery was particularly concerning because the Free From range is specifically marketed to people with dietary restrictions.

The FSA confirmed that the supermarket has removed all affected batches from shelves and has also displayed notices in stores to inform shoppers about the contamination issue.

Affected shoppers have been advised to follow the typical recall process: do not consume, package up the item, and return it to Sainsbury's.

Food safety alerts must always be taken seriously to ensure customer safety.

For the latest food recalls and withdrawals, the FSA provides up-to-date information. Alternatively, all major retailers have dedicated pages for such announcements.
