Shoppers across the UK are being warned not to eat a number of popular food items following a series of product recalls this week.
The recalls are issued by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which has urged shoppers to return affected products to the place they bought them – and to not consume them.
The FSA says if an item is under a recall notice, you can return the product for an exchange or refund.
All of the affected items have been removed from shelves, and shoppers are being urged not to consume them, and instead return them to the store in which they were bought.
