What to do now
This is a Salmonella recall. The food itself is the problem, but so is everything it has touched since it came home, so the clean-up matters as much as getting rid of the pack.
- Put it aside, bagged, away from anything that will not be cooked.
- Wash your hands after handling the pack, then clean the surfaces, boards and utensils it touched.
- Return it to Tesco for a refund. Shops normally accept recalled food without a receipt.
- Look for other packs at home: the recall covers every pack that matches the details below.
Why it matters. Salmonella usually causes diarrhoea, stomach cramps and a temperature that start within a few days of eating. Freezing does not kill it, and raw or lightly cooked foods carry the highest risk.
Symptoms and when to get help
Look out for
- feeling sick or being sick
- diarrhoea
- stomach cramps
- a high temperature
- feeling generally unwell, tired or achy
Get help urgently
- signs of dehydration, such as passing little or no pee, feeling dizzy or very thirsty
- blood in your poo or bleeding from the bottom
- symptoms that are not improving after a few days, or keep coming back
- a baby, a young child, someone pregnant, someone older or someone with a weakened immune system is unwell
