What to do now

The problem with Tesco Sandwich Pickle is a physical one: glass may have got into the product during production.

  1. Do not eat it, and do not decant it to look for pieces.
  2. Keep the pack sealed, out of reach of children, until you return or dispose of it.
  3. Return it to Tesco for a refund. Shops normally accept recalled food without a receipt.
  4. Look for other packs at home: the recall covers every pack that matches the details below.

Why it matters. A foreign body such as glass can cut the mouth, throat or gut. Because fragments are often small and clear, inspecting the food is not a reliable test.

Symptoms and when to get help

Look out for

  • pain in the mouth, throat or chest
  • difficulty swallowing

Get help urgently

  • bleeding from the mouth, vomiting blood, or dark, tar-like poo — go to A&E or call 999
  • severe stomach pain after eating the product

This is general information based on NHS public guidance, not medical advice. In an emergency call 999. For urgent advice use NHS 111 (NHS 24 on 111 in Scotland) or, in Northern Ireland, your GP or out-of-hours service.

Getting your money back

The quickest route is to take the pack, or a photo of its label, back to the shop. Most retailers refund recalled products without proof of purchase.

If a shop refuses, the Citizens Advice consumer helpline (0808 223 1133), Advice Direct Scotland (0808 164 6000) or Consumerline in Northern Ireland (0300 123 6262) can tell you what to do next.
