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.
