The Food Safety Authority of Ireland has ordered the recall of a popular bakery product sold in Tesco stores across Ireland after metal fragments were found in the product.
The recall affects Et Voilà! Pains au Chocolat 4-pack, which is sold for around €4. The presence of metal pieces poses a potential risk of injury, prompting the immediate action.
The Food Safety Authority has instructed Tesco to remove all affected batches from sale. Customers who have already purchased the product are strongly advised not to consume it.
Tesco is expected to display recall notices in stores, and consumers can return the product for a refund, even without a receipt.
The Food Safety Authority said the recall is a precautionary measure to protect public health and urged shoppers to check their kitchens and freezers for the affected product.
