Baby been eating C&G jars - Tesco

[Gemm83]

Err.. My baby has been eating the recall jars, in fact she had one last night 😳

It doesn't say in the report as to what they mean by "tampered" with. What to look out got etc.

I'm really scared 😢

Anyone else?

They can't release any more information as there is an ongoing police investigation.

The risk only extends to 7month+ jars purchased from Tesco. No other retailers are affected. Jars can be returned to Tesco for a refund. All batch codes/all expiry dates.

Advice from Tesco and C&G is to see a healthcare professional if your baby has eaten a jar and seems unwell. Although this doesn't seem entirely practical - how does the healthcare professional diagnose without all relevant information? And the amount of babies probably in A&E today who are just teething but have eaten a jar and seem unwell... another strain on our NHS. Well done C&G and Tesco, well done.

She's on the 7+ from Tesco and has eaten quite a few of them 🙄 She's not been well for past couple of weeks with streaming cold and just general grottiness. C&Gs response has been shockingly bad 🤬

It would help if they at least said what to look out for

Exactly. Nothing. Just if you are concerned contact HV or Primary Care source. There are rumours that metal was placed in A jar. Who the fuck messes about with baby food?? 🤬 Sickos.

The metal was Heinz in December. Nothing has been released from C&G, particularly nothing detailing the nature of the tampering.

As it happens, my 18 month old had one of the recalled jars last night (not a regular thing, I promise. I was absolutely stuck and it was getting late, so he had it as soup with a few other things). He has allergies, some unknown, which cause a variety of symptoms. He often has little flare ups and until more information is released I won't know if it's the jar or his allergies. So I'm not without empathy.

There are a few idiots out there who target babies. I remember seeing a Facebook post a couple of years ago. Someone had put drawing pins under a changing mat in a baby change facility.

Just in case anyone has missed it, the recall is here.
