The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has recalled several products affecting customers at Sainsbury’s, Aldi and Lidl. The regulator has issued a “do not eat” warning over fears they could pose a risk to customers.
The recall includes chocolate, guacamole and a pasta dish. Some products pose a health risk as they contain ingredients not stated on the packaging while one could contain pieces of plastic.
