The cupcakes from this particular batch contain soya, which is not declared on the ingredients label. 

The lack of information on the label regarding the soya ingredient poses a risk to those with a soya allergy/intolerance. If consumed by those with intolerance or allergy, it could lead to serious illness.

Tesco has urged people with a soya allergy to not eat the cupcakes but to return the product for a full refund. Picture: TescoTesco has urged people with a soya allergy to not eat the cupcakes but to return the product for a full refund. Picture: Tesco
