New packs of ‘Tesco 10 Cooked Beef Slices’ weighing 125g were put on sale with a use by date of 24 January 2025, but the batch is only safe to eat until 24 December 2024.
In response, Tesco has withdrawn the product from circulation and urged customers that have purchased it to refrain from eating it.
Consumer have also been told to return the product to a Tesco store for a full refund.
