Shoppers are encouraged to check their kitchen cabinets after a potato product was found to jeopardize people with allergies.
Supermarket Aldi has issued an urgent recall on inspired baby potatoes with herbs and butter with the pack size 385g.
This is because it contains milk that is not mentioned on the label – which is a possible risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance for milk.
The watchdog for food safety has told the supermarket to contact the relevant allergy organizations to inform their members.
Customers are asked to reduce the product to their Aldi store where they receive a full repayment.
In a statement, Aldi said: “We apologize that this product did not meet our normal high standards and thank you for your cooperation.”
Regulator The Food Standards Agency, which publishes the warnings, recovers when problems are noticed with food that may be harmful to the consumer.
They have warned those who bought the product and have an allergy or intolerance for milk or milk components, not to eat it.
