TK Maxx and Homesense warn customers of popular drink contaminated with insects
The homeware stores have warned customers not to consume selected tea products over fears they may contain insects.
A new alert by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has detailed issues with three tea loose leaf tea products sold in TK Maxx and Homesense.
The FSA issues product withdrawal notices and food recalls information to inform consumers about food problems.
In this case, a range of organic premium leaf teas by Kintra Foods was found to pose a risk to customers.
A statement from the FSA read: "TK Maxx and Homesense are recalling selected batches of Kintra Foods Organic Premium Leaf Teas because some of these products have been found to contain insects."
The products were sold in TK Maxx and Homesense stores between April and June 2024.
