An eye mist sold at Tesco could be unsafe to use

Tesco is the latest supermarket to recall a product because it could be contaminated.

Tesco told customers: "As a precaution, EM Pharma is recalling specific batches of Vizulize Irritated Eye Mist 10ml, due to potential microbiological contamination."


Vizulize described the product as "a simple and convenient solution designed to soothe and relieve irritated, itchy eyes caused by hay fever, dust, pollution, air conditioning, smoke or bright lights – without the need to use eye drops".

It is pH balanced to "be kind to eyes" and it is suitable for use with contact lenses.

This comes as Tesco also urgently recalls a popular Doritos product over fears it could cause stomach pain and vomiting.

The Food Standards Agency said: "Doritos is recalling Doritos Tangy Cheese because soya is not declared on the ingredients list. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to soya.

"The pack has been mispacked with Doritos Chilli heatwave. Doritos Tangy Cheese 180g (only from Tesco stores) Doritos Tangy Cheese 5 x 30g multipack (only from Poundland stores)."

Poundland recently recalled children's items as they have a serious "risk of injuries or cuts".
