Tesco recalls Tesco 6 Aubergine Katsu Bao Buns because of undeclared milk
Why it was recalled
Tesco is recalling its 6 Aubergine Katsu Bao Buns because the product may contain milk that is not mentioned on the label. Plant-forward products like these are often chosen by people avoiding dairy, whether for allergy or diet, making an undeclared milk risk especially unwelcome here.
Bao buns and katsu coatings involve multiple prepared components, any of which can introduce dairy that never reaches the front of the pack.
Allergens involved: Milk
Affected products
| Product | Pack size | Batch codes | Use by |
|---|---|---|---|

What this means for you
If you or anyone in your household has a milk allergy or intolerance, do not eat these bao buns. Return the pack to any Tesco store for a full refund; the Tesco help pages can answer further questions. Shoppers without a dairy allergy face no risk from the labelling issue. The official FSA notice carries the authoritative date codes and instructions.
