Drinks have been recalled from supermarkets

GETTY

The drink items can be returned to the store where they were bought for a full refund.

A refund can be issued with or without a receipt and shoppers can check with the store for more information.

Food recalls are issued when a problem with the health or safety of the food is identified.

This comes as Tesco, Sainsbury's and Waitrose recall food with the risk of rashes and vomiting.
