What to do now
The problem with Tesco Sandwich Pickle is a physical one: glass may have got into the product during production.
- Do not eat it, and do not decant it to look for pieces.
- Keep the pack sealed, out of reach of children, until you return or dispose of it.
- 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. 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

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.
