    Shoppers who\u2019ve bought Tesco Finest apple and cranberry stuffing mix are being warned their purchase might have moths in it, and they\u2019ve been urged not to use it.<\/p>\n

    Instead, people who\u2019ve bought one of the 130g boxes should take it back to the store for a refund.<\/p>\n

    The affected batch of stuffing mix has a best-before date of next September.<\/p>\n

    The supermarket chain said: \u201cWe are recalling a single batch of Tesco Finest Apple & Cranberry Stuffing Mix due to the possible presence of moths, which makes the product unfit for human consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n

    It added: \u201cPlease do not consume this product and return it to store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cTesco apologises to our customers for any inconvenience caused. If you require further details, please contact customer services directly.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The Food Standards Agency has issued a recall notice, which stated that one particular batch of the \u00a32 stuffing was contaminated by a \u201cforeign body\u201d.<\/p>\n

    The FSA confirmed it was due to the \u201cpresence of insects (moths)\u201d, and it emphasised that the stuffing mix was \u201cunsafe to eat\u201d.<\/p>\n

    The mix has toasted ciabatta-style breadcrumbs, and the advertising blurb says it\u2019s \u201cmade with extra virgin olive oil, croutons, dried sweetened cranberries and dried apples\u201d.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Earlier this month, \u201cdo not eat\u201d food warnings were issued by Tesco, Morrisons and Lidl after recalls of some meat, chocolate, cereal and veg were announced.<\/p>\n

    The items \u2013 which comprised Morrisons, Tesco and Lidl own-brand products as well as some Mars Wrigley ones \u2013 were pulled off the shelves after the FSA issued alerts over products including prawns, duck, chocolate, cereal and peas.<\/p>\n

    The warning said that some of the items might contain \u201csulphites, nuts, milk and gluten-free oats\u201d which aren't mentioned on the labels.<\/p>\n

    Some might be contaminated with salmonella or an unknown type of berry, while one product was recalled after plastic was found in it and another after the discovery of \u201csmall pieces of rubber\u201d.<\/p>\n
