Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons recall pains au chocolat over mould risk

St Pierre recalled its Pains Au Chocolat because of the possible presence of mould.

Shoppers should look out for the 6 pack with the best before dates of September 17, 2023, September 25, 2023 and October 1, 2023.

Anyone who has bought the pack should not eat it as the product has been classed as "unsafe to eat" by the Food Standards Agency.

The products are suitable for freezing so shoppers should check any packs they may have put in the freezer.

A statement from St Pierre said: "If you have purchased St Pierre 6 Pains Au Chocolat with a Best Before date of 17/09/23, 25/09/23 or 01/10/23, please take it back to your nearest store where you will be given a full refund.

"You do not need your receipt. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

"If you would like any further information please contact: enquiries@stpierregroupe.com."

Sainsbury's added: "No other St Pierre products are affected by this issue.

"We are sorry about this and apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to thank you in advance for your understanding and co-operation.

"Food recalls can be issued when an item is found to be unsafe for consumption.
