Waitrose is recalling 115g tubs of Tuna Pate across England after packaging errors displayed an incorrect use-by date.

Waitrose is recalling 115g tubs of Tuna Pate across England after a packaging error was discovered on the product. The packaging displays an incorrect use-by date of December 17, when the correct use-by date for the affected batches is October 17. The Food Standards Agency issued the food alert after uncovering the error.

The incorrect date makes the pate unsafe to eat after October 17. Point of sale notices are being displayed in Waitrose stores explaining the recall and advising customers what to do if they have purchased the product. Shoppers have been urged not to consume the pate.

Customers who have bought the affected product should package it up and return it to their nearest Waitrose store for a full refund. Waitrose has apologised for any inconvenience caused by the recall. Further information is available on the Waitrose Customer Care line on 0800 188 884.
