Tesco Recalls Chocolate Bars: Here’s What You Need to Know

Chocolate lovers, beware! Tesco has recently announced a recall of two of its own-brand chocolate bars due to possible contamination with salmonella. The affected products are the Tesco Milk Chocolate Bar (100g) and the Tesco Dark Chocolate Bar (100g).

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has urged consumers not to eat these products and to return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. The recall was issued after samples of the chocolate bars tested positive for salmonella during routine testing.

Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Symptoms of salmonella infection can include diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal cramps. In severe cases, salmonella infection can lead to hospitalization.

If you have eaten either of the affected chocolate bars and are experiencing any symptoms of food poisoning, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.

Tesco has apologized for any inconvenience caused by the recall and has assured customers that it is taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of its products.

The products have a "best before" date of March 2023.
The products were sold in Tesco stores across the UK.
