Shoppers should look out for the batch code L0B510816 and a use by date of 17 June 2025 for the 700g pack of the product.
The alert said that Giovanna Rana Ltd is "recalling the above product from customers."

Calls to ban restrictive pens for pregnant pigs after analysis of footage from Devon farm
The use of restrictive pens to temporarily house pregnant pigs in the UK severely compromises their welfare can traumatise them and should be banned, experts have said. Analysis by Animal Equality UK of footage collected from a farm in Devon, England, showed that three mother pigs in farrowing crates spent more than 90% of their time lying down, with one not standing up at all for a day. On average, between them they bit the bars (a sign of extreme stress) more than once an hour. The farm is part of the Red Tractor scheme, used to mark food produced to a 'high standard' and supplies Tesco. Animal Equality UK says it is illustrative of the wider problem with farrowing crates, with more than 200,000 sows confined in them each year in the UK. Dr Helen Lambert, who is on the stakeholder advisory board for the Animal Welfare Research Network, was one of several experts who analysed the footage, which was collected continuously across five days. She said: 'All three pigs spent most of their time lying down – considerably more time than postpartum pigs, who can move more freely. Throughout the footage, the sows can be seen engaging in two key stereotypic behaviours: sham chewing and bar-biting… They are usually born out of frustration and stress due to an animal's inability to perform normal, instinctive behaviours.' 'The mental state of these three pigs is severely compromised.' Animal Equality UK's report says sows will spend nearly a quarter of their lives (22%) in farrowing crates before, during and after birth when they are lactating. The crates supposedly prevent sows crushing their crushing piglets by restricting their movement, but have been banned in several countries because of animal welfare concerns. Prof Steve McCulloch, fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, also reviewed Animal Equality UK's findings and said: 'The principal 'benefit' of farrowing crates is not to reduce piglet mortality, but to minimise production costs … Breeding sows are very likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder once they have been removed from the farrowing crates at weaning.' Animal Equality UK said the footage also showed one pig did not touch the enrichment provided (a plastic stick or wooden block) during the five-day period, none of the pigs were able to walk, root, or nest and the lights were on continuously. The National Pig Association (NPA) and Red Tractor both said they were supportive of producers moving away from conventional farrowing systems towards flexible ones whereby the crate is opened once the piglets are more robust. An NPA spokesperson said: 'This transition must be within a sensible timeframe and supported by the market and/or by infrastructure grants in order to make it viable for producers and not push businesses out of pig production.' But the report says such systems are 'ethically indefensible' in failing to address core welfare issues and piglet mortality is often higher in 'flexible' pens than traditional crates. Abigail Penny, the executive director of Animal Equality UK, said: 'Cages must be banned. Forcing intelligent mother pigs to eat, sleep, and defecate in a highly cramped space is unimaginably cruel. Such extreme confinement takes a terrible toll on the animals, who – unable to escape – inevitably become hopeless and traumatised.' A Tesco spokesperson said: 'We take animal welfare matters extremely seriously and immediately suspended the farm when we became aware of this footage last year. We have worked closely with the supplier and only allowed the farm to return into our supply once both Red Tractor and our specialist agriculture team were satisfied that robust action had been taken. The farm continues to be monitored by our supplier to ensure conditions have improved.' WJ Watkins and Son, which owns Cross Farm in Holsworthy, Devon, where the filming took place, was also approached for comment.

NHS urges Tesco shoppers to read important life saving labels in store
The warning comes amid a new collaboration between the NHS and the supermarket giant on Tesco's own brand Luxury Soft toilet rolls. The NHS is encouraging Tesco shoppers to 'keep an eye out' and 'contact your GP practice if something doesn't feel right'. This health warning has been issued as Tesco's own brand-Luxury Soft toilet rolls now feature the NHS logo on the packaging. The collaboration between the NHS and the supermarket giant has been established to increase awareness surrounding bowel cancer among consumers. An NHS post on X, formerly known as Twitter, reads: "Keep an eye out for our logo on @Tesco toilet roll-78.9 million rolls sold and counting!" The initiative serves as a reminder for people to be aware of potential cancer symptoms when going to the bathroom. The NHS emphasises: "It's a reminder for people to look out for possible signs of cancer when going to the loo. Know what's normal for you and contact your GP practice if something doesn't feel right." Printed underneath the NHS logo on the toilet roll is the note: "Finding cancer earlier makes it more treatable and can save lives." Further details are provided on the back of the pack. The packaging also lists warning signs of cancer that may be visible during toilets visits like alterations in stool and the presence of blood. For more detailed information on cancer symptoms, the public is advised to visit the NHS website here. Symptoms of bowel cancer: changes in your stool, such as having softer stool, diarrhoea or constipation that is not usual for you needing to go to the toilet more or less often than usual for you blood in your stool, which may look red or black bleeding from your bottom often feeling like you need to empty your bowels, even if you've just been to the toilet tummy pain a lump in your tummy bloating losing weight without trying feeling very tired or short of breath – these are signs of anaemia, which can be caused by bowel cancer Many of these symptoms can be quite common and may also arise from various other health conditions. Experiencing these symptoms does not necessarily mean that you have cancer but it is essential you consult a GP for a check-up if you notice anything abnormal. If cancer is the cause behind your symptoms, early detection may make treatment more manageable. If anyone experiences symptoms of bowel cancer for three weeks or more, they should speak to a medical professional. The NHS reassures: "Try not to be embarrassed. The doctor or nurse will be used to talking about these symptoms. "If you notice your poo is black or dark red, or if you're experiencing bloody diarrhoea, it's crucial to seek an urgent GP appointment or get assistance from NHS 111. You can reach out by calling 111 or using the online help available at 111." Cancer can come in over 200 different forms and can affect any part of the body, including organs, blood, bone marrow, and the immune system. Sometimes, cancer can spread from its original site to other parts of the body, a process known as secondary cancer or metastasis. The type of cancer you have will determine the treatment you receive. Common cancer treatments include surgery to remove the tumour, chemotherapy with drugs that destroy cancer cells, and radiotherapy that uses radiation to target and kill cancer cells. Other treatment options might involve immunotherapy, which boosts your immune system to fight cancer, and hormone therapy, which aims to slow down or stop the growth of cancerous cells. The NHS assures patients: "You'll be looked after by a team of specialists who will work with you to create a treatment plan that is best for you."
