Tesco has issued an urgent recall on its Tesco 10 Cooked Beef Slices because of an incorrect use-by date.

The details were released by both the supermarket and the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

The supermarket said: “We are recalling a specific date code of Tesco 10 Cooked Beef Slices 125g due to an incorrect Use By date code.”

The Use By date code printed shows January 24 instead of December 24, and the extension could pose a risk to health.

Tesco urged customers not to eat the popular sandwich meat if purchased.

Tesco added: “If you have purchased the affected date code of the above product, please do not eat it.

“Instead, return it to any Tesco store for a full refund. No receipt is required.

The supermarket reassured customers that no other products are affected by this recall.”

However, Tesco also does have another ongoing recall due to an incorrect use-by date with another product.

This is the Red Cabbage & Apple 300g due to the Use By date code printed being December 29, instead of December 11.

Tesco said: “An extension of the Use By date could pose a risk to health if the product is kept past the correct shelf life of the product.”

If you have purchased this item, return it to your nearest store, and no receipt is required.
