Asda, Morrisons, Lidl, Tesco, Aldi, Sainsbury's, Iceland and Waitrose urgently recall Kinder products, biscuits, lager and more

Major supermarkets are recalling some of their most popular products due to safety concerns. Customers are advised to return items to the store in exchange for a refund.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a number of alerts for a range of goods including, lager, soup, takeaway curry and a number of Kinder products.

Product recalls are issued when there may be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold. Sometimes goods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk. When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert.
