Please @Tesco sort this out. I have had more messages today than I would expect from people going into your stores finding the recalled products on shelves and having to remove them themselves!! Only to be told by customer service that they don't know anything about the recall. This is very concerning. It might be the weekend but following a gluten free diet is not a choice for many and doesn't just stop on a Friday at 5pm. This should have been sorted straight away! Remember it's only packets with Best Before 16th December 2023 at present, like is visible in the image, not other dated ones.
