Tesco has recalled three of its own-brand pâtés. They have issued the recall over concerns the products could pose a microbiological risk, making them unsafe to eat.
Three items have been labelled with the wrong use-by date printed on them, according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
The pates are ones with the January 5 use by date.
Tesco said: “The product may pose a microbiological risk and may therefore make the product unsafe to eat.”

The FSA said: “The products listed above have been labelled with an incorrect ‘use-by’ date printed on the pack. The products may pose a microbiological risk, making them unsafe to eat.
“Tesco is recalling the above products. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling these products. These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products.”
