Tesco Withdraws 66000 Underweight Garlic Breads - 5th Oct 2015 10:37pm
If they threw them away they want shooting--what a waste. Why not sell them at a reduced price or just give them away free to customers.
Tens of thousands of packs of garlic bread have been taken off shelves in Tesco stores after a trading standards probe found some were underweight.
The emergency product withdrawal involved 66,000 packs, worth £93,000.
The producer of the slices - Bakkavor Foods - said it had taken steps to avoid a repeat of the problem.
Aberdeenshire Council trading standards officers measured the weight of 290g packs of own-brand garlic bread slices at stores in Huntly and Inverurie.
They found that 39 were under the stated weight, with one weighing less than 230g.
Aberdeenshire Council welcomed action being taken "swiftly".
