Food recalls are issued when there is a health and safety problem with a product. It is then withdrawn from shelves and customers are told what to do if they have already bought it.
Aldi is recalling various Harvest Morn High Protein Bars because they contain milk and/or peanuts and/or soya which may not be emphasised in bold type on the label.
This means the products are a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, an allergy to peanuts and/or an allergy to soya.
