Major supermarkets in the UK have recalled a number of food products issuing a "do not eat" warning on them.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) flagged the issue which has affected products such as chocolate, cheese, popcorn and ready meals sold at Asda, Lidl and Sainsbury's.
The recall affects Lidl's Fin Carré Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts, Asda's OMV! Mac ‘N’ No Cheese, and Sainsbury’s Mexican Style Chilli Cheddar.
It also impacts Buttermilk Speculoos Flavoured Fudge with Biscuit Chunks and Grape Tree Toffee Popcorn.
Some of these items may contain small pieces of plastic, Salmonella or allergy ingredients including milk and gluten which are not listed on the label.
This can be dangerous to people who consume the product - and could be potentially life-threatening if a person has a serious allergy to an ingredient not listed on the product.
If you have bought one of these items you should really check to see if the products pack size, lot number and best-before date match the one in the warning.
If you have purchased one of these specific items you can take them back to the store they bought them from and a full refund will be issued.
Below is a list of all the newly recalled products from the Food Standards Agency.
