The latest supermarket food recalls have been released over safety fears.
Items have been withdrawn including chocolate, snacks, pesto, pork and baby formula.
According to the Food Standards Agency, Tesco, Waitrose and KP Snacks as well as Abbott and Montezuma are among the retailers affected.
LancsLive reports some contain undeclared ingredients including nuts and milk which could cause a health risk to those who are allergic.
Others may contain traces of salmonella which can cause fever, diarrhoea, and abdominal cramps.
While some of these dates may have already passed, it might be worth checking your freezer in case you have one stashed away.
In most cases, you don't need to have your receipt to get your money back for recalled goods.
For all product recalls, you can check the Food Standards Agency website which lists all the potentially dangerous items that have been removed.
