Tesco urges customers to not use product and return to store immediately
The supermarket has issued a product recall warning over some of its health and beauty items
Supermarket giant Tesco has issued a product recall for several health and beauty items due to safety concerns. Product recalls are a way for companies to inform the public about issues with their products that could potentially pose a risk to consumer safety.
The supermarket giant has initiated a recall for various batches of its Tesco Kind and Pure Facial Cleansing Wipes. The product recall is due to unsatisfactory microbiological testing results, which detected the presence of pluralibacter gergoviae bacteria, making these products potentially unsafe for use.
The recall comes after another supermarket, Farmfoods, recalled ready meals over a "potential health risk."

How AI could help slash NHS hospital discharge delays
How AI could help slash NHS hospital discharge delays A new trial hopes to help doctors spend less time on paperwork and more time with patients The roll out a new AI backed project (Image: Ian Vogler / Daily Mirror) Technology is being piloted to help free up NHS hospital beds occupied by people who are fit to be sent home. The platform uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help complete the documents needed to discharge patients, potentially saving hours of delays. AI will extract information from medical records, including diagnoses and test results, to help medics draft discharge summaries before a patient goes home. The Press Association reports the move – which is being piloted at London's Chelsea and Westminster NHS Trust – will allow doctors to spend less time on paperwork and more on care, according to UK health secretary Wes Streeting. After a discharge summary is drafted with AI assistance, the document will be reviewed by healthcare professionals responsible for the patient. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter . The current manual system can sometimes leave patients waiting for hours to be discharged as doctors may be too busy to fill in forms, according to the UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. We have asked the Welsh Government if it plans to take the technology forward in Wales. Mr Streeting has made clear he hopes to roll it out across England, saying: 'This potentially transformational discharge tool is a prime example of how we're shifting from analogue to digital as part of our 10-year health plan. 'We're using cutting-edge technology to build an NHS fit for the future and tackle the hospital backlogs that have left too many people waiting too long. Article continues below 'Doctors will spend less time on paperwork and more time with patients, getting people home to their families faster and freeing up beds for those who need them most.' The tool for discharge summaries is not the only AI project backed by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. In January he said AI will be used to 'turn around' the economy and public services. And AI technology that helps organise notes quicker will be given to all 12,000 probation officers later this year. The system helps transcribe and take notes from meetings that officers have with offenders after they leave prison. Speaking on a visit to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, the UK's technology secretary Peter Kyle said: 'This is exactly the kind of change we need – AI being used to give doctors, probation officers and other key workers more time to focus on delivering better outcomes and speeding up vital services. 'This Government inherited a public sector decimated by years of underinvestment and is crying out for reform. These AI exemplars show the best ways in which we're using tech to build a smarter, more efficient state. 'When we get this right across government, we're talking about unlocking £45billion in productivity gains, delivering our plan for change and investing in growth, not bureaucracy.'

Family's desperate plea to find dad's work colleagues
Family's desperate plea to find dad's work colleagues Brian Tipper worked as an electrician in South Wales among other places died just two months after being diagnosed with cancer Brian Tipper worked for several companies in the south Wales area (Image: Hugh James) The family of a man who tragically died just two months after being diagnosed with cancer are now looking for any of the people that might have worked with him between the years 1963 and 1978 during his time in Newport and Pontypool . It was a devastating shock to his family, when Brian Tipper died in July 2023, aged 76. Just two months after he was diagnosed with mesothelioma- a form of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. The story is much too common, as a father recounted in January 2025 about how years of work as a builder could have led to his incurable cancer diagnosis. Another grandfather recounted in 2019 how 40 years of exposure to asbestos while working in Welsh hospitals led to him being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. Brian's family has now enlisted specialist asbestos solicitors at Hugh James to pursue a civil compensation claim. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here The electrician lived in Ross-On-Wye where he worked in his trade. Article continues below Brian's family think that he could have been exposed to asbestos during his work in Wales and other places while he was employed by different companies. He had been employed by companies like South Wales Electricity Board, while he was based in Newport and Pontypool. Additionally, he also worked with British Rail in the 1960s while he was based in Newport on projects like the Severn Tunnel Junction. Electricians working between the 1960s and 1980s were frequently exposed to asbestos, which was commonly used in a range of electrical products and building materials, including wiring, insulation, switchboards, and even their work clothes. Despite its fire-resistant and insulating qualities, asbestos posed a significant risk to electricians like Brian, who would regularly come into contact with it during routine tasks such as installing or repairing wiring, fuses, and working on electrical panels. The team at Hugo James say that during his work as an electrician, Brian could have been exposed to asbestos at the following companies: South Wales Electricity Board (1963 – 1968 and 1971 to 1974) British Railways (1967 – 1969) Ashton Paper Mill Ltd (1968/69) Gwent Electrical Co Ltd (1969/70) David Grimme (Electrical) Ltd (1969/70 and 1971/72) Duramin Engineering Co. Ltd (1970/71) I.S.C (NSC) Avonmouth (1970 – 1972) and Davies Electrical Services Ltd (1973 – 1978) Hugh James' legal team has now appealed for witnesses who worked at the abovementioned companies during that time period, especially those who worked with Brian, to come forward. Ceri Clark, asbestos claims solicitor and senior associate at Hugh James, said: "We are hoping to help Brian's family seek answers. "If you worked with Brian Tipper at any point during his lifetime and/or have any information relating to how Brian could have been exposed to asbestos whilst working for these companies, please come forward as soon as possible. "Anyone with information about working conditions, asbestos exposure, or who may remember working with Brian Tipper is urged to get in touch. "Their recollections could play a crucial role in the ongoing case to establish the circumstances of asbestos exposure and hold accountable those responsible." Article continues below

The eight foods that will keep you cool this summer including surprising hot drink and spicy dish
EAT FOR HEAT The eight foods that will keep you cool this summer including surprising hot drink and spicy dish Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH temperatures soaring across the UK, Tesco has reported a surge of thirsty customers buying hydrating fruit. The supermarket chain has reported a ten per cent increase in sales of berries, melons, grapes and other varieties as people scoff healthy snacks to help them cool off in the sun. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Shoppers are snapping up a range of different food to help cope in the heat 7 Eating a hot curry can be beneficial with ingredients boosting circulation, which helps you cool Credit: Getty 7 A hot cup of tea can still be refreshing, and sends signals that help you cool down Credit: Getty But some of the best food and drinks for warm weather sustenance might surprise you. Here, Laura Stott reveals the perfect menu to eat in the heat. CURRY: Tucking into a spicy vindaloo can provide perfect nourishment in warm weather. Many popular Asian dishes contain coconut milk, which aids electrolyte balance. Ingredients such as turmeric and ginger boost circulation, helping you cool. Coriander helps with heat tolerance, while chili fires up our cooling mechanisms. CUP OF TEA: A hot brew when it's boiling can be surprisingly refreshing and helps to keep you hydrated. University of Cambridge boffins proved that – whether it's builders', Earl Grey or green tea – when a drink is warmer than the body, it activates heat receptors on your tongue which tell the body to sweat, cooling you. ONIONS: Eating an onion has many heat-busting benefits. Cooked or raw, the root veggies contain sulphur compounds that encourage perspiration to help lower your body temperature. They are also packed full of a cooling flavonoid called quercetin, which helps the body absorb hot-weather stresses. And circulation- boosting benefits lower body temperature further. Each hydrating allium also consists of around 90 per cent water. UK Basks in Glorious Sunshine: Thousands Flock to Beaches as Heatwave Hits STEW: A hearty stew might sound like it belongs on a winter menu. But whether you simmer meat, chicken or veggies, the fluids in your pot are great for hydration levels. Seasonings like salt are ideal for balancing electrolyte levels, and mixed vegetables provide vital hot weather handy minerals such as magnesium and potassium. To give it a summer twist, opt for a lighter stew with a broth base. 7 After an initial heat burst, a bowl of soup will help your body cool down Credit: Getty TOMATO SOUP: A bowl of soup might make you feel warmer initially – but sweating means your body will quickly begin to cool down. Any variety will boost your hydration, but this classic soup is a superb summer pick as tomatoes are 94 per cent water. They are also high in antioxidant lycopene, which can help protect your skin from the sun. You can even enjoy it chilled, as a Spanish-style gazpacho. 7 Pineapples keep you hydrated and are also packed with health benefits Credit: Getty PINEAPPLE: This tropical treat is packed with powerful anti-inflammatory bromelain, known to help the body combat the effects of heat and inflammation. It's also handy for aiding digestion, if the warm weather has upset your tum. With 86 per cent water, pineapple keeps you hydrated and will regulate your body temperature, too. Scoff in chilled slices or add to smoothies. MINT: Fresh mint contains menthol, which activates cold receptors in the mouth to help you cool naturally – as well as tasting refreshing. Plant a pot of peppermint or spearmint on the windowsill for garnishes or add a dried sprinkle from the freezer to dishes. It can also help with heat-induced headaches. ICE CREAM: Perhaps not the most nutritious warm-weather food but licking a cone on a scorching day will still help cool you down temporarily as the frozen treat hits your tongue. For longer- lasting benefits, a lighter fruit sorbet or lolly from the freezer will replenish more fluids. But both should raise a smile while it's scorching. 7 Fresh mint contains menthol, which activates cold receptors in the mouth to help you cool naturally Credit: Getty
