How Many Moths Would You like with That? - Stuffing Recalled

In the News

Tesco is recalling a Christmas stuffing product because it might contain moths.

The supermarket chain said the warning applied to Tesco Finest Apple & Cranberry Stuffing Mix 130g with the best before end date of September 2024.

"We are recalling a single batch of Tesco Finest Apple & Cranberry Stuffing Mix due to the possible presence of moths which makes the product unfit for human consumption," the official recall notice said.

In the warning issued through the Food Standards Agency, the retailer said anyone who had bought the affected stuffing should "not consume this product".

Customers are advised to return the product to a branch of the supermarket, where they will be given a refund. No receipt is required.

"Tesco apologises to our customers for any inconvenience caused," the statement added.

Cranberry has become a staple of traditional Christmas dinners, having first become popular as part of Thanksgiving feasts in the US.

The recall notice included no explanation as to how moths may have come to be present in the stuffing, but Tesco has been contacted for comment.

telmel It does make you wonder 🤔 It's even more surprising that they found out. I wonder how they did find out! Perhaps the boxes kept moving, seemingly of their own accord, and someone found the moths in the packets? It's enough to put you off bought stuffing for life!

This is shocking, but I have to ask, who buys dehydrated stuffing or why anyway?

Anybargains You'd be surprised what people buy. I imagine not everyone can cook and many people want to make Christmas dinner as easy as possible as the day itself can be very stressful.

I love when they give the advice "do not consume it" as if anybody would once you know what may be in it.
