The Food Standards Authority has warned anyone who has an intolerance: 'Do not eat them'

Supermarket giant Aldi has issued a product recall after an undeclared ingredient was discovered.

The My Sweet Chickpea products have been noted as having undeclared milk in them.


The supermarket and Food Standards Agency (FSA) have outlined what to do for customers to stay safe.

In a statement, Aldi said: “As a precautionary measure our supplier is recalling three My Sweet Chickpea Chocolate products because they may contain milk which might not appear on the product label.

"My Sweet Chickpea is recalling the above products from customers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.

"The company has also issued a recall notice to its customers, which explains to customers why the products are being recalled and tells them what to do if they have bought the products.”
