Tesco and Asda Recall Popular Kids’ Breakfast Item Over Health Risk Warning
Health concerns have prompted Tesco and Asda to issue a recall for a popular kids’ breakfast item. The product in question is the six-pack of Brioche Pasquier’s Pitch Chocolate and Hazelnut Brioches, which may pose a choking hazard.
Details of the Recall
- Product Name: Pitch Chocolate and Hazelnut Brioches
- Pack Size: 225g (6×37.5g)
- Best Before Date: March 4
- Batch Code: UK 034
The recall was announced by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which highlighted the potential presence of hard white plastic in the product. This contamination makes the brioches unsafe for consumption.
Distribution and Advice for Consumers
These brioches are widely available at Tesco, Asda, and Ocado, making them a staple breakfast item for many families. Consumers who have purchased this specific batch should refrain from eating the product and are encouraged to return it.
To facilitate the return, customers can contact Brioche Pasquier’s customer care through their website or via email at [email protected]. Notably, no other batch code or products from Brioche Pasquier have been implicated in this recall.
Recent Recalls and Safety Concerns
This recall follows a troubling trend in recent food safety incidents. Just days prior, numerous baby formula batches were recalled due to a dangerous toxin that has sickened at least 36 children. The affected products from Danone, which owns Aptamil and Cow & Gate brands, were found to contain traces of cereulide, a toxin not rendered harmless by cooking.
Additionally, Nestle previously recalled over 60 batches of its SMA formula milk for the same contamination issue. Parents are urged to carefully check the batch codes and ensure their children do not consume affected products.
The incident underscores the importance of rigorous food safety measures and consumer vigilance when it comes to potentially hazardous products.
