Tesco is recalling a Christmas stuffing product because it may contain moths.

The UKs largest supermarket chain said the warning applies to its Tesco Finest Apple & Cranberry Stuffing Mix (130g), with a best before date of September 2024.

“We are recalling a single batch of Tesco Finest Apple & Cranberry Stuffing Mix due to the possible presence of moths which makes the product unfit for human consumption,” the official recall notice said.

In a message to customers, the chain said: “Please do not consume this product and return it to store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required.

“Tesco apologises to our customers for any inconvenience caused.”

The warning message shared by the supermarket chain made no mention of how moths could have ended up in a Christmas stuffing product.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is an independent government department responsible for public health in relation to food. If there is a problem with a food product which should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' or 'recalled'.

The FSA issues withdrawal notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems with food.

The Independent has contacted Tesco for comment.
