Some of the UK's major supermarkets, including Adli, Lidl, Sainsbury's and Iceland have issued urgent recall warnings this week amid food safety concerns on their products.
The Mirror reports that Aldi has recalled frozen chicken after an investigation found almost all batches could contain salmonella.
Lidl is issuing a recall on cheese and sweetener tablets, while Waitrose said an entire batch of chocolate bars could contain nuts - when not listed on the ingredients.
The Food Standards Agency warned that some products in the recall contained additional ingredients not on the labels, whereas others could lead to food poisoning as a result of harmful bacteria.
When a food recall issued, it is shared by the FSA.
Anyone who has purchased any of the items below should not consume them and should visit their nearest supermarket for a full refund - or an exchange.
