Tesco recalls pate over 'microbiological risk' due to incorrect use-by dates
The supermarket is urging customers not to eat a popular spread 😮
- Tesco is recalling various Tesco Pates
- The affected products have incorrect ‘use-by’ dates
- The products may pose a ‘microbiological risk’
A range of pates sold at Tesco are being recalled over a safety risk, which makes them unsafe to eat.
Tesco is recalling the Tesco Coarse Farmhouse Pate, Tesco Coarse Ardennes Pate, and Tesco Smooth Chicken Liver Pate, as they have incorrect ‘use-by’ dates.
As the products above do not have the correct dates printed on the pack, consuming the products could pose a ‘microbiological risk’ if consumed.
The affected batches are all 170g in pack size, with use-by dates on January 5, 2026.
Tesco has taken action by recalling the products, urging customers to not eat the pates, and issued a point-of-sale notice which explains the reasoning behind recalling the products and what customers should do if they have purchased the pates.
On the point-of-sale notice, Tesco said: “Tesco is recalling the below pate with the use by Date 05 JAN due to an incorrect use by date printed on pack. The product may pose a microbiological risk and may therefore make the product unsafe to eat.”
The notice continued: “If you have purchased the affected date code of the above product, please return it to any Tesco store for a full refund. No receipt is required.”
