Tesco recalls Tesco Finest Summer Edition Chocolate Affogato Dessert because it may contain pieces of plastic
Why it was recalled
Tesco is recalling its Finest Summer Edition Chocolate Affogato Dessert because it may contain pieces of plastic. Plastic fragments in a soft dessert are particularly easy to swallow unnoticed, which is why the product is treated as unsafe to eat rather than something to inspect at home.
The issue arose in production; the recipe itself is fine, but no affected pot can be identified by looking at it.
