Tesco pulls popular Greek dip from shelves due to health risk
Tesco needs customers to return its store-brand tzatziki dip after finding dangerous bacteria during quality checks. The recall affects products with late-november use-by dates
Tesco announced an important food-safety recall today: their house-brand tzatziki dip got pulled from stores after test results showed salmonella contamination
The affected greek-style yogurt dip (priced at £1.35) has a use-by date of 11/24/24; its made with a mix of cucumber lemon-juice and mint. Customers who bought this 200g product should bring it back to any Tesco location for a no-questions-asked refund
The NHS points out that salmonella infection can lead to these symptoms:
- fever and high temperature
- stomach cramps and pain
- diarrhea lasting several days
- possible hospital care in worst cases
“If you have bought the above product do not eat it“ – Tesco tells shoppers in its recall notice. The company set-up a special customer-service hotline (0800 505 555) for questions; no receipt is needed for returns
This isnt the first time this dip caused problems: about 3 years ago the same item got recalled because of a mix-up with sour cream dip that couldʼve affected people with egg allergies
