Tesco has urged shoppers to visit their nearest store "immediately" if they have “melt in the middle” meat-free burgers at the centre of an urgent product recall. The move to recall the items comes amid fears they are "too hot" for shoppers. The product recall, issued by the supermarket chain, is because of a “burn risk” to customers from the 240g Tesco Plant Chef 2 Meat-Free Burgers with Melting Middle.
Shoppers have been told not to eat the burgers and to return them to any Tesco store for a full refund. The recall, issued on Friday, states: “Tesco are taking the precautionary step of recalling Tesco Plant Chef 2 Meat-Free Burgers with Melting Middle because the centre of the burgers may maintain a high temperature once cooked. This may result in a burn risk to customers.
