Tesco advised: "If you've bought an affected product, please don’t eat it. Instead, return it to a Tesco store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required. Use our store locator to find your nearest UK Tesco store."

Those who require further information can also contact Tesco Customer Services at 0800 505 555.

The supermarket assured customers that no other Tony's products sold in the supermarket are affected by this issue.

Tony's Chocoloney is stocked at several major retailers, including Amazon, John Lewis and Waitrose.

In a fresh update, Waitrose issued a food recall for the popular confectionary, alerting shoppers to two potentially dangerous bars.

More information on the recall can be found on the Tony's Chocoloney website.

In its official recall notice, the chocolate manufacturer told customers: "Even though the chance of any individual product being affected is low, we've decided to take this step to ensure the safety and satisfaction of our Choco Fans.

"This recall only affects these specific products - all your other Tony’s Choc is safe to consume and not impacted.

"Got any bars with the affected lot codes in your cupboard? Please return them to the store where you bought them for a refund or replacement. These products shouldn’t be consumed."

In other supermarket news, Sainsbury's issued an urgent recall for chocolate that could contain metal.

While food recalls are not too common, they must always be taken seriously to ensure shopper safety.

Shoppers were recently warned as popular crisps were pulled from shelves over a health risk to Britons.
