A food safety alert has been issued over a popular snack sold in Aldi supermarkets across Ireland.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland published a notice about various Harvest Morn Protein Bars on Friday.
It says there are “incorrectly declared allergens” on their labels, which may make them “unsafe” to eat for some people to eat.

A spokesperson said: “Allergens in all batches and best before dates of Harvest Morn Protein Bars may not be emphasised on the label.
“This may make the products unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of cereals containing gluten (barley), peanuts, soybeans, and milk.
“The implicated bars were sold in Aldi stores.”
The affected products include the flavours: Birthday Cake, Peanut Butter, Cookie Dough, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Peanut and Caramel and Chocolate Salted Caramel.
All batches and best before dates are impacted.
It comes just days after dozens of chicken products were recalled from a number of Irish supermarkets amid Salmonella fears.
Several batches of various raw chicken items were for sale in supermarkets including Aldi, Dunnes Stores, Lidl and Tesco. While they were sold fresh, the items are now past their use-by-date, but were suitable for home freezing.
Households are being urged to check their freezers for the items and have been advised to not eat any affected batches.
The FSAI said: “Western Brand is recalling expired batches of raw chicken products listed in the table below due to the detection of Salmonella Typhimurium. These products were sold as fresh and are past their use-by date, however, the labels state they are suitable for home freezing.
“People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between 6 and 72 hours. The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody. Other symptoms may include fever, headache and abdominal cramps.
“The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.”
