This week, Magnum urged customers not to eat one product. The warning has now been extended as Tesco issues a new update.
The major supermarket recalled Magnum Almond Ice Cream Sticks 3x100ml, as they may contain plastic or metal.

"The possible presence of plastic and metal makes the product unsafe to eat."
