Tesco's product recalls
25 official recall notices between Oct 2023 and Sep 2026 were matched to Tesco and brands it owned at the time, including Tesco Finest.
Each notice concerns the specific products, sizes and lot codes it names. A recall does not mean that other Tesco products are affected, and a count of notices is not a measure of safety: one incident can produce a notice for every pack size.
Covers only notices from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration enforcement reports (openFDA), USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service recalls, UK Food Standards Agency food alerts and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalls that could be matched to Tesco: the recalling firm must be Tesco, a parent or a subsidiary, and for a brand the brand name must appear in the product description.
