Tesco recalls pate ranges over 'microbiological risk' caused by use-by date error
Tesco is recalling a variety of its patés as they have the wrong use-by date on the pack - and may be a health risk.
The Food Standards Agency says that the error means that the “products may pose a microbiological risk, making them unsafe to eat”.
The packets all come in 170g packets which all have a use-by date of January 5, 2026. No other dates are affected.
The ranges affected, which Tesco is recalling, are:
- Tesco Coarse Farmhouse Paté
- Tesco Coarse Ardennes Paté
- Tesco Smooth Chicken Liver Paté
Notices are being put up in all stores which sell the patés.
Tesco added: “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. No other Tesco products are affected by this recall. We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused.”
