Tesco has informed shoppers to urgently return a Christmas staple due to the possible presence of insects.
With Christmas just around the corner, UK shoppers will be stacking up the fridge full of festive treats.
Pigs in blankets, Yorkshire puds and mince pies are just some of the regulars on the Xmas wishlist.

Simply put, if you don't put on a few pounds over Christmas, then you're not doing it properly.
However, before you stuff your face, Tesco has noted that one of its most popular products is unsafe to eat.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned anyone who has bought a 130g pack of Tesco Finest Apple & Cranberry Stuffing Mix to return it for a full refund.

"We are recalling a single batch of Tesco Finest Apple & Cranberry Stuffing Mix due to the possible presence of moths which makes the product unfit for human consumption," it said.

The FSA added: "The company has issued a recall notice to its customers.
"These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
"If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. For further details, please contact Tesco Customer Services on 0800 505 555."
Tesco describes the product as a 'stuffing mix with toasted ciabatta style breadcrumbs made with extra virgin olive oil, croutons, dried sweetened cranberries and dried apples.'

A customer who wrote a review on the product on 25 September said: "This is really tasty and so easy to make. I use it mixed half and half with Tesco's sage and onion stuffing and the cranberries give a pop of taste, it's my Sunday 'roast' element as I don't like meat."
On 31 August, someone else wrote: "Excellent quality and such a nice flavour."
Another comment from last December read: "Easy to prepare, good consistency and a distinct cranberry taste. Enjoyed by our GF guest who was surprised how good it was."
