However, there's one ingredient that can truly spoil the experience—those pesky insects, particularly large fuzzy moths. Shockingly, these unwelcome guests have made their way into numerous pre-packaged stuffing mixes in the UK. Tesco recently had to take drastic measures, yanking stuffing mixes off their shelves upon the unsettling discovery that many might be contaminated with moths.
From BBC:
The batch of Tesco Finest Apple & Cranberry Stuffing Mix may be "unfit for human consumption", the retailer warned via the Food Standards Agency.
Customers can return the 130g packets without a receipt for a full refund, said Tesco, which apologised for the inconvenience.
The stuffing batch has a best before date of September 2024.
"We 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," Tesco said in the recall notice.
Tesco advised people who need further information to contact customer services.
The Food Standards Agency said that people who have bought the product should not eat it, and return it for a refund.
