TESCO has urgently recalled their frozen croissants over a nut label error.
The supermarket giant has recalled the batch of frozen all-butter pastries because they may contain almonds – but the warning wasn’t printed on the labels.

The Food Standards Agency said: “Tesco is recalling Tesco Frozen All Butter Croissants 6 pack because it may contain almonds (nuts) not mentioned on the label.
“Due to a packaging error some packs may have been incorrectly packed with Tesco Frozen Almond Croissants, which contain almonds (nuts).
“This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to almonds (nuts).
“If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to almonds (nuts) do not eat it.
“Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.”
People who are allergic to nuts and come into contact with some can go into anaphylactic shock.
In extreme cases, and without urgent treatment, their throats could balloon and they might choke to death.
