Yahoo News 'Immediate' warning issued as tea products recalled after INSECTS found inside
Three loose leaf tea products have been recalled by a major retailer after insects were found inside them. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued an urgent recall alert for the three products this afternoon (June 18).
It says selected batches of Kintra Foods Organic Premium Leaf Teas have been found to contain insects. The products had been available to buy at both TK Maxx and Homesense.
Both retailers have now recalled the affected products. The recall affects the 60g pack of the 'Calm and Relax' version of Kintra Foods Organic Premium Leaf Teas with the batch codes 6057, 6071, 6118, 6126 and 6207.
It also affects the 40g packs of the 'Chamomile' variant with batch codes 5887 and 6111, as well as the 40g packs of the 'Chamomile' 'Sleepy' variant of the tea with batch codes 6058, 6102 and 6125. A post on the FSA website says: "Insects may be present in these products, which makes them unsafe to consume."
Notices about the recall are being placed inside both TK Maxx and Homesense stores. The notice says that the affected batches had been on sale in stores between April and June this year.
It adds: "No other products or batches are affected by this recall. Please stop using it immediately and return to any TK Maxx or Homesense store for a full refund."
