Tesco Finest Caesar & Smoked Bacon Coleslaw Recalled Over Undeclared Mustard

Tesco is recalling a batch of Finest Caesar & Smoked Bacon Coleslaw because some tubs have been filled with Finest Four Cheese Potato Salad. That salad contains mustard, which the coleslaw packaging does not declare.

What’s Affected

• Product: Tesco Finest Caesar & Smoked Bacon Coleslaw
• Pack size: 270g
• Use by: 4 September 2026

What You Should Do

If you have a mustard allergy, do not eat the affected product. Take it to any Tesco store for a full refund. Check the use-by date on the tub when identifying the recalled packs.

How a Packing Error Changes the Allergen Information

The label describes coleslaw, but some tubs may contain a different salad. That breaks the link between the ingredients list and the food inside. A shopper who checked the coleslaw label for mustard could therefore make a decision based on information for the wrong recipe.

The FSA identifies mustard in the Four Cheese Potato Salad as the reason for this allergy alert. Its notice does not say that the coleslaw recipe changed, or that every tub with this name contains the wrong salad.

Check Before Decanting or Sharing

Match the 270g size and 4 September use-by date while the label is still available. If you already transferred the contents to another container, use the original packaging to identify it and let anyone else eating the salad know about the recall. The named product and date are more reliable identifiers than trying to decide from the appearance of the contents whether a tub was mispacked.

Read the official FSA notice for the recall details and any further updates.
