Several UK supermarkets have issued food and drink recalls amid safety fears.
Tesco, Sainsbury's and other stores such as Iceland have all issued urgent warnings to customers who can take back the items for a full refund. You do not need to have your receipt to claim your money back on the affected items.
The Food Safety Agency (FSA) has detailed what products customers should avoid consuming and why they are being recalled. Tesco and Sainsbury's have pulled a popular variety of hot chocolate powder from their shelves because a small number of packs may contain small pieces of food-grade silica beads, making them unsafe to eat.
