Tesco has pulled a popular dairy item from its fridges and is urging anyone who has already bought it not to eat it.
Due to high levels of bacteria, Trewithen Dairy has recalled a batch of its unsalted butter. A Facebook post from Tesco said: "As a precaution, Trewithen Dairy is recalling one batch code of its unsalted butter, as it’s been found to contain high levels of E. coli."
Anyone who has bought the item is advised "please don’t eat it". The butter can be returned to any Tesco store where a full refund will be given - even without a receipt.

The affected batch is Trewithen Dairy Unsalted Butter 250G, with a best before date of May 23, 2022. The batch code is G2 073 and no other Trewithen Dairy products are known to be affected.
NHS England says E. coli is a bacteria found in the gut of most people and animals. While most E. coli are harmless, some can cause illnesses such as diarrhea.
